A film about the power of civil discourse is slated for screenings in Edwards and Gypsum next week as part of a statewide initiative bringing local news outlets and communities together.
The Vail Daily is proud to present “Undivide Us” screenings on Tuesday, Aug. 27, at Colorado Mountain College in Edwards and Thursday, Aug. 29, at the Gypsum Recreation Center followed by community discussions. There will also be an Above the Noise event with Spanish language speakers on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the Gypsum Recreation Center.
“Undivide Us” is a film that challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well.
Above the Noise is a statewide initiative led by Rocky Mountain Public Media in partnership with the Colorado Press Association, Colorado Media Project and CSU. It brings together a local network of media outlets to create a stronger Colorado by deeply listening to the experiences of people who live here.
Following the film there will be a discussion led by Martin Carcasson, Ph.D., founder and director of the Center for Public Deliberation at Colorado State University. His research focuses on helping local communities address differences through improved public communication, community problem-solving and collaborative decision-making.
