Positive and constructive conversations with councils, communities and colleagues

This exciting training will be lead by Andrea Perry from Addiscombe Railway Park and Dartnell Park.

Working in open green spaces we know that community growers interact with a huge range of people and can often experience communication issues and conflicts of interest.

The focus of this workshop is to build the skills and capacity to have positive constructive conversations with a wide variety of stakeholders, including when those conversations may be challenging.
