SCCR ONLINE CONFERENCE 2021  - A Different Normal–'Reconnection' workshop

SCCR INTERNATIONAL ONLINE CONFERENCE 2021: 'THE POWER OF RECONNECTION' .After months of Covid and lockdowns, the need to reconnect has never been stronger. Shutting away from 'normal' life has had numerous knock-on effects for individuals, families and society, which we are just beginning to find the time and the space to deal with. We are now leaving our homes and returning to workplaces; we are seeing friends and family; we are rediscovering the joys of everyday life. It is a time of opportunity and reflection; as we start off on our journeys of healing, we are all learning first-hand the power of reconnection.Cyrenians' SCCR's 2021 Free Online International Conference takes as this year’s theme ‘The Power of Reconnection’. Reconnection may mean many things to different people – reconnecting with loved ones, reconnecting with causes, or simply reconnecting with oneself. As isolation has exacerbated familial and societal fault lines, we have a pressing question to answer: how do we ensure reconnection, both at home and across society, can form a first positive step on a truly global journey of healing? Our programme of free online events will bring together speakers and collaborators to share their wealth of experience. Together we'll examine how we grow strong positive relationships and reconnect with our family, friends, ourselves, and the wider society through interactive workshops, discussions and the arts. Please feel free to sign up to as many as you wish! A Different Normal – 'Reconnection' - SCCR WorkshopThis interactive workshop is on the 19th October at 10:00 with Duncan Gordon, Trainer and Andrew Boyd, Mediation and Conflict Resolution Advisor from Cyrenians Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution.

The workshop will include activities, a chance for discussion and finish with a Q&A from our facilitators.
