For sometime Community Dialogue has hosted several one-off Practitioner Forum events. These gatherings have provided a valuable opportunity for individuals engaged in community and peace-building work to come together, share practices, discuss challenges, and exchange experiences from their work settings. Additionally, the forums have offered a space for mutual support among practitioners.
The demand for community services has risen significantly over the last four years, largely due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the resulting physical and mental health challenges and now the cost of living crisis. In response, our Practitioner Forum has been warmly received, creating a safe and open environment for grassroots workers and fostering stronger collaboration.
Building on this initial success and responding to the growing demand for further engagement, Community Dialogue will be expanding the Forum. This initiative aims to provide ongoing support and advocacy for those working in community relations and peacebuilding.
More information on the structure of the Forum network will be available soon. To join our mailing list and get involved, please contact us on Admin@communitydialogue.org
