As part of the Master's in Family Studies, the open class “How to build relevant conversations” will take place on May 9, at 5pm, in room 242.

How can dialogue be transformative? What impact does dialogue have on a romantic, family, friendship or professional relationship? In this session, we'll talk about the effect of dialogue, listening and reflection on the relationships we establish, and how dialogical practices can offer us resources for creating relevant spaces for conversation together.

For this open class, led by Alexandra R. Moreira, we invite anyone who is interested in experimenting with dialogues that bring people closer together, both personally and professionally. In interviews, in debates, in conflict resolution, in consultations, in the development of multimedia content, in teaching, in leadership, in two-way conversations or in groups, building relevant conversations matters.
