In the world at present there are lots of topics young people will feel passionate about and want to discuss but some of these can also become quite divisive.

In this EDI Community of Practice we will hear from speakers and dicuss in groups how we can support young people to have these discussions and debates in constructive and respectful ways.

We will look at how we create safe and brave spaces and hear from other professionals about how they support these discussions.

Be ready to participate too, following the speakers we will have some discussion groups to hear from each other about tools and strategies different people have used previously and share our learning.
