Finding tangible hope in demanding times - international peer learning
Across Europe and beyond, many practitioners are working in communities affected by poverty, exclusion, loneliness, migration, conflict, polarisation, social pressure or fatigue. The contexts may be different, but many of the questions which arise are similar:
· How do we stay hopeful when the work is demanding and when contextual changes affect us in our role and in our personal life?
· How do we remain open, humane and creative in situations of pressure or conflict?
· How can our everyday practice of engagement with marginalised people become a place where dignity, solidarity, peace and hope are made tangible?
This international peer learning programme offers a small, reflective and supportive space to address these questions in a dialogical learning with practitioners from other countries. Through experience sharing we will aim to explore how hope can become concrete in everyday relationships, in communities and through action.
