The Dialogue Experience
Our DIALOGUE PROCESSES aim
to contrast regular conversations, in following ways:
GOALS: People intentionally come together
to gain understanding of views that are different from their own.
PROCESS: The communication will be
a bit more structured than usual,
in order to support deep connections beyond differences.
VALUES: The interaction is a two-way process
that carefully balances Active Listening and Intentional Sharing*.
(*e.g. intentionally balancing authenticity and caring interactions)
AGREEMENTS: Participants jointly create
communication norms that foster empathic dialogue.
ATMOSPHERE: The conversation is shaped by respect
in which deep sharing and mutual learning can occur.
"Dialogue cannot exist
without humility."
Paulo Freire
