Workshop on Better conversations and restorative thinking

Greg from Glenfield

Restorative thinking helps us to build and maintain good community relationships.

Examples of restorative thinking (or 'restorative practice') are:

- being able to express and talk about what really matters to us
- listening to someone else to understand what matters to them
-identifying causes of conflict as we talk ('positions': in an argument, what I say matters)
- working together to find out our underlying motivations or values (my, your, our 'interests')
- creating conversations that move us from a place of hurt to healing.

We want to promote opportunities for people to talk about and share ideas for restorative thinking.

This workshop is a chance to get a discussion going. It will be very interactive rather than presentations. Let's get talking. Sessions will cover topics such as building connections, developing our confidence in brave conversations and self-facilitation, the role for faith groups in promoting restorative thinking and practice.

Friday 20 October. 10.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m.
Vegetarian lunch provided.
Brought to you by Onewa Christian Community and ANCAD.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
