Dialogues : Making Connections

Over the last year we’ve occasionally had small gatherings at our house for young people.

It’s included people from their late teens to early adult but it’s open and not specific, conversations are in English and all it requires is an open mind accepting of others and their opinions.

It’s flexible.

It’s resulted in stimulating insightful conversations

We meet again this month to decide how to take it forward.

This video is about the Ukraine but reveals his thinking about what the current situation reveals about all our societies, being both positive and hopeful.
