Compassionate and courageous campus conversations
Higher education is navigating significant change. At times, the pressures of targets, deadlines, workloads and transformation can make it difficult to stay connected to the values that brought us into this work.
Compassionate and Courageous Campus Conversations is a shared conversation space that brings together people working in and around higher education. Through facilitated circle conversations, we create opportunities to pause, reflect and explore what compassion means in our everyday practice, leadership, decision-making and relationships.
These are not lectures, workshops or training sessions. They are structured conversations where we can think together about the realities of working in higher education today, share experiences across roles and institutions, and consider how compassionate approaches can influence the systems, practices and cultures we create.
We welcome academic, professional services and student-facing colleagues from across the sector who are interested in keeping the conversation about compassion alive during a time of ongoing challenge and change.

- Facilitated circle conversations approximately every six weeks
- Reflective dialogue rather than presentations
