How to Plan and Conduct a Dialogue Effectively

This opportunity will provide:

This effort is part of a project implemented with the financial support of the Government of the Netherlands.  

Dialogue is a process of organized and professionally managed communication aimed at transforming relations among and between people and institutions. Dialogue is not about striving to achieve agreement or uniformity of views. Its purpose is to help participants with diverse or even conflicting views understand each other's perspective, thus enabling them improve relations, accept divergences, and interact in a constructive and peaceful way, towards seeking solutions.
