This is a space to share learning from our Poverty Truth Journey:
Review of the first year of the County Durham Poverty Truth Commission
Review of the County Durham Poverty Truth Commission Launch 2025
Since we began our Poverty Truth Commission journey, we have learned that both deep listening and speaking our truths are key factors for successful outcomes.
To achieve this, we have used many different techniques and were able to attend the Art of Hosting three-day training workshop at Ashburnham Place near Hastings to further develop our facilitation and hosting skills.
Some things which we took away from this training include:
- Art of Hosting - The Chaordic Path
- A simple way to explore the Four Fold Practice of the Art of Hosting – Chris Corrigan
- Circle Way Guidelines — The Circle Way
These techniques and more can be found here: Art of Hosting and Harvesting Conversations that Matter
