Fostering dialogue through active listening

About the session

In an increasingly polarised world, it is becoming ever more important that we equip our learners with the skills and awareness they need to navigate what can often be difficult and potentially confrontational interactions. 

This session will focus on what it means to really listen to someone and how to engage in non-confrontational dialogue in order to better understand people and represent our own views in an honest and humble way. The session will include practical strategies and practice activities that teachers can share with their learners in the classroom.
