Let’s Talk - Tools for Tackling Tricky Conversations
Sat 30 Apr 2022 10:00 AM - Sat 7 May 2022 1:00 PM BST
Frome Town Hall, BA11 1EB
Description
10am-1pm Saturday 30th April & Saturday 7th May
Let’s Talk is a group of Frome residents who believe that, with help, we can all tackle tricky conversations that leaves us all feeling heard and hopeful. The hints and tips the group offer can be used in all sorts of situations: working through neighbourhood disputes, talking to family members or friends or collaborating at work.
The Let’s Talk group got started after members attended an Introduction to Restorative Conversations training hosted by Frome Town Council. One year on, their passion for this approach is still strong - the group meet regularly to practice their skills and develop ways to share them in their community. They have hosted events and webinars and plan to do more.
These two sessions run over consecutive Saturday mornings on 30th April and 7th May (10am-1pm) and offer a broad introduction to the restorative approach, with lots of examples and practical strategies to learn and share. Attending both sessions will give you a firm grasp of what the approach can offer and provide a gateway to further involvement with the Let’s Talk group if you’d like to.
If you’d like to know a bit more about it before you commit to joining these sessions, there is a very short online taster session available on Tuesday 5th April (7pm – 8.30pm). This will give you a whistlestop introduction to restorative conversations.
One of the newer members has said “A year ago I had no experience of Restorative Practices or ideas. I took part in the training being offered by Frome Town Council because it sounded interesting, but I had no idea that it would have such a significant impact on my life and relationships. Since then, being a member of this group has enabled me to keep learning, and most importantly, developing practical tools that are helping me in all aspects of my life.”
