Workshop: Having Difficult Conversations about Migration

by

Saturday 26th October, 2-5pm

This session will be about how to communicate effectively about the issues surrounding migration. Debates on these issues can be uncomfortable, upsetting or angry, and often do little to change anyone’s mind. At the same time, fighting for a progressive stance on migration is more important than ever, and we need to be able to persuade people who don’t already completely agree with us. The session will be led by an experienced trainer from Global Justice Now and will equip you with the tools to do that.
Free entry, donations welcome. Please RSVP as soon as possible to globaljusticesheffield@gmail.com as spaces are limited.
Venue: Central United Reformed Church, 60 Norfolk Street, S1 2JB
