You’re Invited! Webinar – South African Elections 2024
The 2024 elections will be held in the context of a political crisis. It is predicted to be an unprecedented election that is unlike previous elections in the history of the country’s democracy. While social media provides a platform for discussing critical social issues, navigating challenging conversations online can be daunting. Dialogue skills are particularly important since volatile and ambiguous online communication with opposing views is connected to offline violence. Tales of Turning harnesses their skills in dialogue facilitation and narrative therapy to drive transformative conversations in both virtual and real-world settings. Join Tales of Turning on the 22nd of February for a discussion on the 2024 South African elections.
