About Community Conversations

 

One aspect of our Community Conversations initiative is to respond to requests for space to explore things. We are celebrating this first ‘community-generated community conversation’

 

Get in touch if you want support to put a question/discussion out to the network, for empathy/discussion/info-sharing and also prayer.

 

 

There are several types of Community Conversation …

  • Conversations where there are different perspectives – to increase connection and preempt conflict, including debrief conversations to integrate events
  • Book / film / podcast discussions – to increase awareness and deepen understanding around conflict, nonviolence or social justice
  • Conversations about conflict processes – to share resources and increase learning
  • Community generated conversations – to bring people together where there is energy around a topic or suggestion ?
