Mediation tools for building community

Communities are changing, there are many challenges & opportunities facing us all, come along to our workshop where we will share some mediative tools that we have developed from our 20+ yrs work locally, nationally & internationally! This will be an evening online event that will be interactive, we aim to ensure that the session is practically useful, enjoyable & will help develop communities that are more together!

When we work together to share resources, tackle issues, deliver services etc while the outcomes can be fabulous there can also be many challenges along the way. We want to share tools that will help prevent issues, manage relationships & transform any broken or challenging relationships.
