We have run 80 Community Conversations in partnership with Community Centres, Community Forums, primary schools, officers and councillors, faith groups, youth groups, neighbourhood watches etc. We are proud to have a team of local, diverse volunteers working on this project as both facilitators and mediators. We are grateful to EHRC for funding the continuation of this work from January 2010.
Please see our Community Conversations learning document for full information about over work over the past three years.
We have developed two types of Community Conversations:
- 1. Getting to Know You
- "Getting To Know You" workshops are for people in the same neighbourhood who don't normally mix. They have an informal and positive focus that helps people to discover how much they have in common.
