What do you do when a festive family conversation turns uncomfortable? Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 Christmas dinner with family can sometimes feel tense, especially when topics like immigration or politics come up. While it’s tempting to shut down a difficult conversation or lead with facts alone, this can often lead to further resentment and division. We spoke to Who Is Your Neighbour?, a charity with fifteen years of experience in facilitating non-judgmental conversations. They suggest that meeting people with empathy and asking curious questions can be more effective than simply walking away. This year, the Guardian charity appeal is supporting grassroots organisations that work to heal social division and nurture hope in our communities. From refugee welcome initiatives to local youth clubs these charities provide a powerful antidote to hate and distrust.
