Guided Conversations place the participating individual at the centre of the conversation. Their life experiences, opinions and how they relate to topics of interest lead the conversation.

HAIRE's Guided Conversation

The Guided Conversation is HAIRE’s adaptable tool that aims to understand how a person’s life experiences, local area and social connections (to other people, organisations and activities) influence their wellbeing.

The first step is to identify your target audience and a purpose for the Guided Conversation. In HAIRE, the target audience was older adults in rural locations across Europe. Additionally, the project was interested in how issues relating to wellbeing were being experienced in these specific locations.

Overall, in HAIRE, the conversation’s purpose was to reflect on issues and identify what was needed for support older adults. These needs included reflecting on what individuals could do themselves, as well as thinking about how they could be supported and by whom.
