Connections Lab Workshops
Our workshops are based on the premise that the way liberals communicate -fact flinging, debunking and derision- is not only ineffective but counterproductive.
Science has answers for us, but unlike conservatives, liberals have been the science deniers.
Our workshops and printed materials are based on the work of George Lakoff and other psychologists and linguists who have discovered a great deal about how the human brain really processes information and who offer practical solutions to our failed communication efforts.
If you have been looking for something to do that will help swing the pendulum back to reality, this is for you. And for everyone else.
Our workshops cover:
- What we’ve been doing wrong
- Why it needs to change
- The Nation as Family model of morals and political worldviews
- An exploration of the science behind framing
- Hands on framing and message building through our Stop, Drop and Roll exercises
- How you can teach others and build a culture of effective communication
