Description

Knowing how to start a conversation is an important social skill but it can be a challenge, especially with someone you have just met. In this program we show documentary examples of psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry starting conversations with strangers in a park. They explain some simple strategies that make starting a conversation easier and more relaxed.
