Dialogue
• A process that allows people, usually in small
groups, to share their perspectives and experiences
with one another about difficult issues
• Not about judging, weighing or making decisions,
but about understanding and learning
• Dispels stereotypes, builds trust and enables
people to be open to perspectives that are very
different from their own
• Often requires skilled facilitation
