On a Saturday morning in March, six committed second years led listening workshops with the following aims in mind:
- To practice listening and recognise its value
- To get to know each other and ourselves better in different ways and situations
- To raise awareness of how listening can be used as a tool to help make decisions, solve problems, and so on
- To gain a better understanding of how talking out loud in a safe, non-judgemental environment can help you think
- To help us see that attention to listening helps promote intercultural understanding + learning about each other
The sessions were active and engaging, and it is hoped that some of the first years who participated in them will take on the role of workshop leaders in the year ahead. Warm thanks to everyone who organised and took part!
