Welcome to the Cultivating Civility podcast!

Welcome to the Cultivating Civility Podcast!

I’m your host and Save Your City author Diane Kalen-Sukra, and together we’ll be exploring ways to tackle toxic behaviour in public spaces & shape a culture of respect and civility in our communities.

Each episode features insightful conversations with civic leaders and sages who are leading the charge in bridging divides, enhancing civil discourse and renewing civic culture. 

Inspired by the 2024 Global Civility Summit hosted by Kalen Academy, where hundreds of civic leaders worldwide gather to share insights on 'Tackling Toxicity & Cultivating Civility,' this podcast is rooted in the core principles of good governance and thriving communities—trust, respect, and social cohesion.

If you are ready to move beyond empty rhetoric and legislative band-aids to transforming the cultural core of our local governments, city halls, and communities, this podcast is for you.

 “Cultivating Civility” isn’t just a conversation—it’s a movement sowing a culture of respect, one episode at a time.

Thank you for joining us!
