This course, run in partnership with ‘St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace’ and ‘faithnetsouthwest’, is for people involved in, or interested in, interfaith facilitation and dialogue. It will be of benefit not only to those new to facilitation but also those who are already facilitating groups and want to improve their technique or explore a wider range of tools.
The course will be highly experiential and will offer an opportunity to engage with a range of practical tools and techniques which help to foster participative and productive group conversations. The emphasis is on interfaith dialogue but many of the dialogue tools work well for diverse groups of all kinds.
The course will be run by Justine Huxley and Jonathan Marshall Together, they combine years of experience of developing and using tools for interfaith dialogue. They will use this experience to explore, with the help of the group:
- Dialogue tools and meeting formats that support creative conversations
- The difference between dialogue and debate
- The importance of asking good questions
- The elements of good dialogue -
listening, respecting, voicing and suspending judgment - How to create safe containers for difficult conversations
- Dealing with difference, disagreement and tension
- Maximising involvement and creating inclusive space
- The art of listening for what is missing
- Collaboration, consensus and power dynamics
- The basics of interfaith etiquette
Justine Huxley is the Interfaith Projects Co-
Jonathan Marshall is Director of the Plymouth Centre for Faiths and Cultural Diversity, a charity grounded on interfaith principles he helped found ten years ago and for which he was recently honoured with an MBE. The centre is closely connected to www.faithnetsouthwest.org.uk – a regional partnership that supports faith groups engaging in social or community activity in the South West. One of faithnetsouthwest’s key aims is to help faith groups and local and regional bodies reach a better understanding of one another, and work with each other.
