Finding Common Ground Despite our Differences with Corrymeela's Sylvia Gordon
Listen now
Description
It’s a New Year, and if you’re like me, you’re probably one of the millions of people around the world with new goals in mind for 2023. This likely includes how to create meaningful relationships and keep them, even if there are some differences with those we hold dear. On this month's special video podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into how we can work through these differences with someone who does this daily. Sylvia Gordon is Head of Programme at the Corrymeela community, which resides on one of the most beautiful coasts of Northern Ireland where three different waterways come together to join as one. Like these waters, Sylvia helps people from all over the political spectrum come together to tackle some of the most divisive issues of our time. As always, thank you for listening.
