🎄 The holidays often bring difference to the table. i-Attune wasn’t created to tell people what to think. It helps people make sense of where they stand, while staying engaged across difference. Staying in dialogue matters more than agreement. 🔗 Explore i-Attune: www.open.edu/openlearn/wh...

🎄The holidays bring people together and sometimes bring tension too. 😱 Attunement isn’t about agreeing. It’s about staying in dialogue when views clash: recognising the other person’s legitimacy and keeping engagement possible. 🔗 Check out our Attunement Model 👇 oppattune.eu/wp-content/u...

🎉The #OppAttune Winter Academy begins this week! A space for researchers, practitioners and community partners to explore how everyday conversations shape democratic life and how political #attunement and #everydayextremism tools can strengthen dialogue across Europe.

🤔 What does it mean to be political in divisive times? From 26–28 Nov in Coimbra, the #OppAttune Winter Academy explores how dialogue can build democratic resilience and limit #everydayextremism - bringing together policymakers and practitioners from across Europe. 👉Explore our work: oppattune.eu

🔊 Attunement isn’t just listening it’s how we stay responsive in disagreement. OppAttune’s research (oppattune.eu/wp-content/u...) shows how this self-awareness helps prevent the quiet normalisation of hostility.👇 🔗 www.open.edu/openlearn/wh... #iAttune #PublicDialogue #EverydayExtremism
