Sessions

Kindness in practice, in policy, and within a pandemic

8:00am - 9:00am AEDT Friday 13 November 2020

The pandemic has provided countless examples of how small acts of everyday support can help to render life 'liveable' for many in our community. Politicians, meanwhile, have urged us all to check in on neighbours and practice 'random acts of kindness'. Reflecting on his prominent qualitative research into the infrastructure of kindness, and subsequent conceptual work, Scotland's social research expert Simon Anderson will explore these themes, as he takes us through the implications of kindness in practice, in policy and within a pandemic. This session will include interactive Q&A.

"We are all stressed right now. It can be tempting to jump to conclusions about the motivation of others when they may have behaved poorly. However, all staff keeping society/healthcare going have made a deliberate decision to help - they are, by definition, good people.”

Join internationally renowned speaker Chris Turner, as he explores the notion of wisdom, different styles of leadership, while also reflecting on the work of the Civility Saves Lives movement. This session will include an interactive Q&A.

Hear from an expert panel as together they consider the role that individuals, teams and organisations all play in the building of resilience – especially during a time like Covid, and beyond.
