Call for participants: Webinar on Fostering Meaningful Communication in Local Reality

EGL is running a webinar on the 9th of June about Fostering Meaningful Communication in Local Reality.

• Are the young people often “tokenised” in your local reality?

• Is your community able to tackle challenging and contradicting discussions?

• Are you able to communicate meaningfully your value to your stakeholders?

Dialogue is essential for better understanding diversity of voices in local realities. Dialogue is a space where those voices can come together as equals to listen and learn from each other. Through committing to dialogue, one can better understand the complexity of local issues, combat polarisation, and support democratic processes and participation, especially for those whose voices are often left unheard.

The session will take place on Zoom from 12:30 to 15:30 CET on the 9th of June (Thursday). It will include, a presentation by an expert, small group dialogue -experiments and plenary debriefings.

In this webinar you will:

• Gain understanding of dialogicality and the “Timeout-Dialogue” -model (Finland)

• Learn ways how to involve young people equally to discussions in your community

• Better understand how complexity and challenging topics become a richness for learning and development in local realities

• Reflect on your own ways of communication towards your stakeholders

• Hear examples of dialogue having an impact on democratic processes

• Practice your own dialogicality
