Convo.project

How would you feel about being paired with a couple of strangers to share your thoughts on some of the questions in the image below? That’s exactly what Convo.project is all about – bringing people together and creating a little space for some big conversations to happen.

It can feel a bit vulnerable and maybe even a little scary at first, but more often than not, it’s fun, energising, and can really take you out of your comfort zone. I’m hosting 90-minute sessions every Saturday in August at 2pm on Calton Hill (weather permitting). Edinburgh residents can come along for free – it’s our very own unofficial Fringe event!

We had a fantastic group for our first session last Saturday, and with the sun shining and the festival vibes, it felt like we were in some stylish European city. We had a great mix of ages and perspectives, and some of the conversations even carried on over coffee in the sun afterwards. Take a look at some of the beautiful feedback in the images below!

If you'd like to be part of one of our upcoming sessions, check out the Eventbrite page for details and to grab your ticket. We'd love to have you join us.https://https://lnkd.in/ezdyXzDf

And if you have guests - we'd love some visitors to join the locals. You never know who you might meet!!

We ended the year on a high note last week by delivering our first organisational wellbeing session to the staff at Edinburgh Futures Institute. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to bring even more events to life. It’s clear that people value opportunities to come together and that they thrive on open, honest conversations – and we can’t wait to facilitate more of these moments! If you work with an organisation or community that's interested in collaborating with us - get in touch!

As Convo.project evolves we've recently had some interest from a couple of organisations that employ hybrid and remote workers. Some of these teams only get together once in a while, meaning that they don't actually get to know each other as people. For me, good mental wellbeing at work is impacted by the quality of my relationships and we all know how isolating it can feel if you don't have anyone at work who you view as a friend. We've just secured our first (very exciting) client and we'll share more about this once we've successfully delivered our session with them in December. In the meantime if this is something your organisation might be interested in, get in touch
