Navigating difference and disagreement for Big Local REPS

Local Trust's mission is to enable residents to make their own communities and their areas better places in which to live.Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund-funded programme which committed £1m each to 150 neighbourhoods across England. The £217m originally provided by The National Lottery Community Fund to support this programme is the largest single-purpose Lottery-funded endowment ever made, and the biggest ever investment by a non-state funder in place-based, resident-led change.In terms of scale, time horizon and ethos, nothing like Big Local has ever existed. Designed from the outset to be radically different from other funding programmes, at the heart of Big Local is a vision of empowered, resilient, dynamic, asset-rich communities making their own decisions on what is best for their area. In 2019, half way into delivering Big Local, we reported on what we have learned so far.

Please note this is the first session of a two - part training. Sign up to session two <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/190953235267">here.</a>The quality of our relationships has a huge impact on our well-being, motivation, our ability to do our best work and how we perceive ourselves and others. Our differences in opinion, experience and approach can be a difficult source of tension in diverse communities, and if ignored and overlooked people will feel excluded and undervalued. At the same time conflict can also be important to help us grow and find the best solutions. We’ll explore our own experiences with conflict and provide practical solutions to navigate disagreement and ensure we build environments in which diverse people can thrive together.A small number of people who attend these sessions will get the chance to have 1-1 and pair coaching sessions with Collaborative Future to explore in more detail your specific challenges with centring equity and belonging in your work on Big Local. People will be invited to participate once the first workshop has taken place.In this session you’ll●	Understand what unhealthy or healthy conflict looks like - and how your own experiences of conflict affect how you engage●	Reflect on our own identities and how this shapes the way we interact with one another when differences surface●	Practice conversational techniques that will improve your interactionsIf you have any questions please contact events@localtrust.org.uk<ul></ul>
