Engaging in '''civil discourse''' means having thoughtful and respectful conversations - even when there are fundamental or other disagreements. It involves employing [[listening skills]] such as active listening, speaking/writing [[empathy|empathetically]] and respectfully, and focusing on the issue at hand rather than personal attacks. Civil discourse helps build mutual understanding and also promotes productive dialogue.
