Transformative Conversation Programme, Advance HE
Date: 5th December 2022
Time: 13.00 - 16.15
Location: Online via Zoom
Each workshop will explore the challenges of having a range of difficult conversations, with particular attention to what works well. Difficult conversations may include those exploring the lived experiences of marginalised groups or encouraging the exchange and dissemination of different ways of thinking about and new approaches to key equality, diversity, and inclusion challenges.
Additionally, conversations within the institution across faculties, schools or departments can often involve discussion about the use of limited resources, strategy and priorities or organisational structure and performance improvement.
The workshops will aim to help participants increase their confidence in having difficult conversations and develop the ability to ask more transformative questions to face challenges in a new creative way.
The workshops will also help participants to look at ways to change the language used when addressing difficult subject areas to unlock a possibility of seeing things differently and instigating different outcomes.
