The Conversation is an innovative talk series at St Martin in The Fields, structured to enhance audience engagement by facilitating direct dialogue with speakers. Founded by Peter Florence, who was inspired by a participatory debate format, the program tackles significant issues such as the climate crisis and international conflicts. Florence emphasizes the importance of storytelling and hopes to kindle discussions that can lead to social action, drawing inspiration from the historical significance of the venue and its association with social justice movements.
I took part in a really engaging long table debate at the Reykjavik Arts Festival and loved the way the audience became part of the conversation.
We are committed to talking about power, conflict resolution, climate action and inequalities, but we really want great storytelling to illuminate the darker corners of all that trouble.
