[BEAM] Fake news (February 23, 2023)

In view of rampant populism, as many people as possible should be able to deal confidently with fakes in everyday life, especially in direct conversation. Perhaps even to defend themselves against them without constantly being at odds with family, neighbors and friends. Because fake news is not something new, but old lies in a new guise. Content/Objectives: During the event, participants were shown how to identify so-called “fake news” and develop strategies to counter them in an objective manner.

[BEAM] Conflict management (February 15, 2023)

In our trainings, participants learnt to stand up to emotional attacks in high-conflict conversations. How can they respond to critical, confrontational or provocative questions? How can they deal with their own feelings and those of the other person? And what can they do when a conversation threatens to derail? Tried-and-tested communication techniques, which participants practice in role plays, can help here. In addition, the workshop offered time to reflect on possible solutions to existing conflicts together with the other participants.
