Find answers to common questions below.
What is the Big Conversation Framework?
The Big Conversation Framework is huunuu’s CPD-accredited training and workshop framework, designed to help people confidently facilitate meaningful conversations about life, death, dying, legacy, wellbeing and future planning.
It provides facilitators with difficult conversations training, practical guidance, structured workshop materials and ongoing resources to deliver three huunuu workshops: Big Conversation, Legacy Giving and Time to Talk. The framework gives facilitators enough structure to feel confident, while allowing conversations to remain responsive to the people in the room.
Who is the Big Conversation Framework training designed for?
The Big Conversation Framework facilitator training is designed for people and organisations who want to create safe, thoughtful spaces for conversations that can sometimes feel difficult to start.
This might include people working in health and social care, hospices, charities, community organisations, end of life training, workplaces, education and faith communities, as well as independent facilitators and professionals whose work involves supporting people through life changes, planning, loss or legacy.
You don’t need to have all the answers. The framework is about learning how to facilitate well, ask thoughtful questions, listen and create space for reflection and discussion.
What does CPD-accredited mean and why does it matter?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. The Big Conversation Framework has been independently accredited for CPD, providing external recognition of the quality and professional development value of the training.
For facilitators and organisations, this provides reassurance that the framework supports professional learning, high-quality facilitation and the development of skills for sensitive and meaningful conversations.
How do your journals and conversation cards support end-of-life conversations?
huunuu’s journals, books and conversation cards are designed to make conversations about life, death and legacy feel more approachable.
Rather than telling people what to think or say, they provide thoughtful questions and prompts that help people reflect, talk, plan and share what matters to them. They can be used independently, with family and friends, by professionals or alongside a huunuu workshop. Our conversation cards can also be used as warm-up activities, reflection prompts and discussion starters
Can organisations license facilitators through huunuu?
Yes. Organisations can work with huunuu to train and license people to deliver workshops using the Big Conversation Framework.
Licensed facilitators receive access to huunuu’s approved framework, Facilitator Guide, workshop materials, supporting resources and ongoing programme updates. This provides organisations with a consistent approach while still allowing facilitators to adapt their delivery to different groups and settings.
How do I bring huunuu into my organisation?
There are several ways to bring huunuu into your organisation, depending on what you want to achieve.
You might introduce huunuu journals and conversation resources, run a Big Conversation, Legacy Giving or Time to Talk workshop, or train members of your team to become licensed Big Conversation Framework facilitators.
We work across workplace, community, charity, health and care settings and can help you decide which approach best suits your organisation and the people you support.
What topics do huunuu workshops cover?
huunuu workshops create space to explore topics including life, death, dying, future planning, grief, legacy, values and difficult conversations. Each of the three workshops has a different focus: Big Conversation explores practical and personal planning; Legacy Giving explores what legacy means to us; and Time to Talk develops skills for approaching conversations that can be difficult to have.
What is an end-of-life conversation?
An end-of-life conversation can include anything from wishes for future care and practical planning to talking about death, dying, funerals, family, values and what matters most. At huunuu, we believe these conversations don't have to wait until someone is seriously ill. Talking earlier can give people more time and space to reflect, share and plan.
Why is it important to talk about life, death and legacy?
Talking openly about life, death and legacy can help people reflect on what matters to them, express their wishes, make plans and have conversations that might otherwise be postponed or avoided. huunuu creates resources and facilitated experiences that make starting those conversations feel more approachable.
