Open Listening in MAH

Dialogue sessions will be held by two experienced facilitators, Jassy Denison and Katharine Yates. Sessions will be structured and facilitated to ensure that a range of voices and views are welcomed and nobody has the monopoly on the truth. We invite participants to come with curiosity about what happens in moments of difference, an openness to sharing and listening and a commitment to stay connected amidst disagreement.

The sessions will last 3hrs each with a break mid way through the session. Refreshments will be provided.

Jassy and Katharine bring many years of experience working with conflict to facilitate listening, speaking, learning and understanding. Part of the Courageous Spaces Collective, they bring tools from mediation and Deep Democracy, offering tailored interventions. Their recent work includes programmes with the European Social Work Research Association, Coram Leap and Young Minds UK.
