Real Conversations is an ambitious national programme that is reinventing community relations across the UK. Its core principle is that only by having difficult conversations – conversations that are often avoided because they are potentially divisive – can we understand the point of view of others. Whether the topic is Brexit, Middle East conflict or issues between local communities, Real Conversations tackles polarisation in your school and the wider world by giving participants the skills to talk constructively with those whom they disagree. OUR VISION Our vision is of a cohesive society in which citizens are highly skilled at living with people very different to themselves. OUR MISSION We tackle polarisation and conflict by developing vital skills that enable individuals and communities to turn potentially difficult, divisive conversations into moments of opportunity to strengthen relationships and enhance knowledge.
