What is Project Civil Discourse? It is a special initiative of the Arizona Humanities Council working in partnership with organizations and individuals around the state to provide opportunities for the public to participate in trainings, workshops, forums, book discussions and conferences. These events are designed to share, model and demonstrate proven collaborative problem-solving skills that can enhance and improve dialogue and debate about important issues that affect our future.
