You talkin’ ta me? Generative Dialogue training session

We are running a short training session with Margaret Williamson from Board Room Development.  She will introduce Generative dialogue as a way to have conversations that encourage people to share ideas, views and understanding by listening to the voices of others.

It might be useful for members of Boards or Management Committees, Community Councillors or anyone working in partnerships with other agencies.

This training is free and will take place at Granton:Hub on Thursday 4th October from  10 -12.  Please do let me know if you or anyone you work with would like to attend.
