In dialogue with each other
In a world where intolerance is growing and contradictions are more often magnified, dialogue provides a counterbalance that is desperately needed. In the information center, dialogue coaches let you experience how powerful a real conversation can be.
For whom?
The dialogue works for everyone. For schools, companies, foundations or associations. The sooner you learn to have a dialogue, the more you can contribute to a peaceful society. We teach you a form of conversation that does not divide, but rather connects and enriches. For secondary education, we have a program that is well suited to the subject of Citizenship and themes related to the history of the Second World War.
The program consists of:
- An introductory session.
- An in-depth program.
We will determine the theme of the dialogue together. Experienced dialogue coaches supervise each session.
The power of dialogue
Dialogue means that we sincerely want to understand each other. That we listen, ask questions, are curious about each other's ideas and experiences, even though we think very differently about a topic. We emphasize the similarities, not the differences. It may sound easy, but we're less used to it than we think. We discuss and debate quickly, often with the aim of winning individually or as a group. When that becomes the norm, polarization grows. In extreme cases, this can lead to violence or - even worse - to war.
Experience the dialogue
We cordially invite you to a dialogue session if you:
- Eager to learn how to have a real conversation, from person to person.
- Wants to further explore or form your own opinion.
- Enough of discussions where winning is key.
- A team wants to build around a theme that you can't figure out together.
- A social theme wants to investigate or discuss.

Wat ik aan andere mensen zou willen vertellen is dat dialoog een vredige manier is om met mensen een gesprek te voeren. Je gaat veel meer in op een onderwerp en je leert de ander echt veel meer kennen. Dit is fijn als je interesse wilt tonen in de ander en dichter bij hem/haar wilt komen.
“Ik zou anderen willen vertellen hoe waardevol dialoog is: je voert niet zomaar een gesprek, je ontdekt elkaar. Je gaat dieper op onderwerpen in, leert iemand echt kennen en laat zien dat je geïnteresseerd bent. Het brengt je dichter bij de ander.”
