Summary
Strong opinions are common and healthy in democratic organizations like co-ops. But sometimes these opinions can cross a line and hurt people who think differently. This workshop will show you how to spot when passionate beliefs turn into bullying. You’ll learn how to
- keep your organization democratic while protecting everyone,
- recognize different kinds of bullying, and
- handle situations where someone’s strong views are harming others.
