OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The art of conversation begins with a leap of faith. It is increasingly recognised as an invaluable skill in professional and personal development. Good conversational skills helps in forming relationships, sharing ideas, and building communities, whilst raising awareness of ourselves and others.
As we rely more and more on technology, are these skills being lost?
In this session, our Artist in Residence, Joy Richardson, will explore ways you can develop your communication skills, and increase your confidence when speaking with others.
Joy will also be reading extracts from her diary ‘Conversations with Strangers’ in which she shares her extraordinary and unexpected encounters with total strangers that helped her through her life.
