Why do people believe narratives?

ONLINE EVENT

Thursday 25th August

18:30 - 20:00 BST

Whether it is Brexit, Covid-19 or Climate Change, we are increasingly living in a world where grand narratives divide and polarise and the barriers to rational debate continue to grow.

You are invited to join us at 18.30 BST for an exclusive FREE taster event this evening with David Charalambous from 'Reaching People' when we will explore how to have more effective conversations by addressing:

Why do people believe narratives?
What are the driving forces behind why people see the world the way they do?
Why are some people seemingly hypnotised by narratives and unwilling to engage in logical debate?
How is it two people can both be convinced that their opposing viewpoints are correct?
Why do we have such optimism that presenting raw data will shift their view?

This discussion will be followed by Q&A where you will have the opportunity to ask your questions.
