Spaces for Listening (Perth & Kinross) 13 Jul 2022

This session is a space created to enable us to listen and be heard.

The session will be facilitated and everyone in the group will have the opportunity to answer 3 questions and listen to the other participants answer the 3 questions. This is a timed activity and everyone in the group has 2 minutes to answer each question.

Facilitators for this event are:

Moyra Gill and Carolyn Wilson

This experience has been experienced and enjoyed by many, facilitated on line across the world by Brigid Russell and Charlie Jones.

"There seems to be a yearning for a space, a chance to be heard. Many of us are seeking to understand more about what is going on, and where we might go next. If we are going to find the more sustainable and humane ways to move forward from the current Covid-19 crisis, then don't we need a better quality of conversations?

Getting on with creating these spaces, keeping it simple yet meaningful, seems like a bold idea.

Could it be as simple as listening to each other more, creating more space to listen and be heard? Well we think that would be a very good start.

Such a space for listening does not give us the 'answer'. What it does is gives us breathing space: to find out and share what is going on for each of us; and to hear where others are too."
