Join the Big Chin Rub - 12 to 16 July

by Ethos public relations

Social housing providers who are looking for a new and exciting way to engage with local residents, groups and communities should sign up to take part in The Big Chin Rub - an event organised by Contour Housing Group during the week 12 - 16 July.

Groups of all shapes, sizes and ages from across the North West are invited to take part in a philosophical enquiry session during the week and discuss a key issue which will be revealed on the 12th July.

Organiser Sam Cooper says people should not to be deterred by the ‘philosophical’ word.

“Philosophical enquiry is a tried and tested method of getting groups to talk to each other in a new way,” he said. “Contour Homes has used it very successfully to encourage individuals, communities and organisations to question, challenge and change their perspectives.

“It‘s also good fun!  It offers a great way to get to know other people and helps us all to think about things in a different but natural way – because philosophy is something that we all do.”

Contour Homes has used Philosophical Enquiry in primary schools, with residents groups and even at the House of Lords! The programme has also been approved by the Homes & Communities Agency Academy and has become part of its Place Making Recognition scheme.

Any group wishing to take part is asked to register their interest before 18th June.  Contour Housing Group will provide supporting material, posters and a how to… fact sheet to everyone who registers.
