Training: How to have more impactful conversations
As society is becoming more polarized it is becoming even more important that we develop the skills to have impactful conversations with people who on the face of it may have very different opinions to ourselves.
This is of course true in the context of the climate crisis but also other hot topics like gender, immigration, Palestine and artificial intelligence but to name a few.
So, this month instead of doing our usual monthly meeting we will be doing some training around how to do this more effectively. The training will happen on Wednesday 19th November at the Quakers Meeting House, South Terrace, Hastings. We will meet at 6.30pm for our usual pot luck dinner (bring something veggie/vegan to share) and the training will run from 7.00pm-8.30pm.
The training will help you to be able to:
Express and explore different points of view
Listen in a way that builds trust
Open yourself and others up to influence
Everyone is welcome and you don't need to have been to an XR meeting before to attend.
Welcome to
Extinction Rebellion
Hastings & St Leonards.
A group of local people that care about our community, our environment and the survival of the human race.
We are raising the alarm about the Climate and Ecological collapse.
CODE RED FOR HUMANITY
The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable. Fossil-fuel burning is choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk.
UN Secretary General
The world is in crisis. The genocide in Gaza, the war in Ukraine, cost of living, the strikes and the Climate and Ecological emergency are all interdependent. They are the same crisis with the same root cause; the system doesn’t work. And so, the system needs to change.
We have 3 demands:
Tell the Truth. If we don’t take radical action it is likely that we will run out of food and water and our social systems will collapse, resulting in large scale civil unrest.
Act Now. The collapse of our climate is the one issue that contains every other issue. We are out of time and must make the transition to a just society immediately.
Decide Together. If the government aren’t willing to take the necessary action then we must get out onto the streets and peacefully demand that they let citizens decide how to tackle climate breakdown.
And so we focus on 3 things;
Pressuring the government and big business to do what is necessary through non-violent direct action
Demanding a citizen led end to the fossil fuel era and a just transition to renewable energy
Supporting our community to take collective action and show that a different world is possible here in Hastings and St.Leonards
