We work to help communities live better with difference and be more resilient in dealing with divisions created by those who see difference as a threat. We hold safe space conversations about race immigration and culture where people can be honest and there is space for reflection and challenge. We work with ‘divisive narratives’, stories that damage communities by scapegoating or blaming particular groups of people.
i) we hold safe space conversations about difficult things where people are able to be honest and where there is also space for reflection and challenge. These conversations can help people be more open to the beliefs and opinions of others. They can provide a solid foundation on which to build relationships with people who are different and have different beliefs and values.
ii) we are also interested in how people can put forward ‘alternative narratives’, stories about difficult issues that don’t scapegoat or target particular groups but which do recognise that the reality can be complicated.
