The resources in this New Conversations section provide help with building relationships between residents. This includes advice on how to create capacity and build a sense of place through engagement, and how to communicate changes like devolution, or address challenges like cohesion. The resources support approaches that use social networks, as well those based on understanding the dominant narratives in an area, and to identify hard-to-reach groups.
