What is Dialogue?

The word is in our name but answering 鈥渨hat is dialogue鈥� or understanding exactly what "dialogue" means can be difficult. There isn't one right way to define dialogue and it often means something different depending on the context, atmosphere and question you're trying to answer. Dialogue can support groups and communities to respectfully explore polarizing issues, address conflict, deliberate on potential for complex issues and much more.
