TUESDAY TALKS are an Ongoing Experiment with Engagement Makers.

How to bring opposed people into conversation? Come explore with Christiane Amici Raboud. Christiane joins us from Geneva, where she often facilitates sessions on strategy, decision-making, group work and, citizens consultation (participative democracy). Recently, she has been thinking about bring people together when they don't necessarily see eye to eye – it is a challenge for all of us, so let's explore it together.

Into inclusion facilitation & participation?

So are we. We’re a bunch of engagement makers who get a kick out of the many ways to be a catalyst for groups. You could call us activists, mobilisers, team coaches or facilitative leaders. Whatever the label, when you give us a challenge – we get people to take it on.

ENGAGEMENT MAKERS

We’re a big busy community, but we like to take time-out to reflect on the magic that we make. We don’t all show up for every Tuesday Talk, but when we do it’s an opportunity to hear fresh ideas, reflect on our practice, and talk through the many ways of building engagement.

IT’S AN EXPERIMENT

These talks grew out of the Dialogue Experiments, which brought thousands of people together to investigate the way we talk with one another. We carry on this tradition, by offering our feedback to their research. This way, our conversations contribute to a bigger cause: improving dialogue worldwide.

SIMPLE FORMULA

We start with an opening ritual to check-in, then ask a QUESTION. With that starts the EXPERIMENT, it might be from a special guest, on a shared topic or about beta testing an engagement tool. We talk it through, and then we DEBRIEF. What helped? Hindered? Insights? Take aways? Finally, we SHARE the outcomes.

RESEARCH PROJECT

Stimulating conversation is easy. But it takes practice. This is one of our many Dialogue Experiments helping people examine their conversations, test out ways to converse, and share feedback to get better. Trying this out with Engagement Makers gives you the extra benefit of increasing your entrepreneurship and ripple effect. Looking forward to hearing your curiosity and your breakthroughs.
