Changemakers 2024 - Flyer v.1

A public dialogue series exploring polarisation in the UK.

Join us for a groundbreaking series of online conversations where, amidst tides of polarisation, blame, and extremism, listening becomes an act of profound empathy between two people who have traversed some of the UK’s most contentious ideological chasms.

In a world increasingly polarised by issues like migration, gender, and religion, this series offers a space to challenge our perspectives and our approaches to building just and peaceful communities. 

We are delighted to host Ivan Humble and Manwar Ali for the first episode of our Crossing the Divide series. We will be exploring the dangers of misguided hate and the importance of breaking down divisive barriers that lead to extremism. Click the link to find out more.

Contribute to the conversation through Q+A sessions with our guest speakers, facilitated by conflict transformation expert Jo Berry, as we demonstrate the wider societal and policy impact of having the courage to cross divides and foster understanding with others. 

Alongside our online discussions, you will also have access to our downloadable resources with practical techniques to safely and creatively address polarisation and transform conflict in your own community.

You can watch our previous conversations between Jo Berry and Pat Magee (the daughter of a politician killed in the Brighton bombing, and the former IRA-member who planted the bomb), and Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan (from the Israeli-Palestinian Parents Circle Family Forum).
