Transformative conversations 1 July 2026

The vast majority of people who are influenced by narratives of division are not inherently bad people. They are capable of empathy, and often while they don’t like the racist stereotypes of a particular community, they are surprisingly comfortable around individuals who they know from that community. So how do we engage with people who say things we don’t want to hear? What techniques can we use that are more likely to lead them to them re-evaluating their views, rather than just leading into a dead-end argument? This session looks at a range of techniques that can move these discussions beyond a competitive exchange of opposing views, explores the way in which we can create the opportunity for people to reconsider their conclusions about ‘the other’.
