Coming together to solve social challenges in today’s divisive environment sometimes feels impossible. But it doesn’t have to be.

Mariah Levison and Rob Fersh describe dozens of examples in their new book “

From Conflict to Convergence: Coming Together to Solve Tough Problems

.” They both spent decades working in conflict resolution and have helped hundreds of groups build trust and create consensus solutions on issues ranging from healthcare to prison reform.

Minnesota Now with Nina Moini shares a conversation Levison and Fersh had with MPR News correspondent Catharine Richert at an event on Nov. 25 at the Capri Theater in Minneapolis. The discussion was jointly organized by the 

 initiative, which aims to help Minnesotans have tough political conversations better.
