Dialogue is a crucial tool in conflict transformation, that creates space for genuine, empathetic connection between individuals. At its core, dialogue is more than exchanging opinions, it is a relational process that encourages people to truly listen, understand, and learn from one another, regardless of their differences. It aims to build and strengthen relationships as main drivers of the conflict transformation, while addressing shared concerns or tensions.
The course is fully focused on community, grassroots dialogue processes and it is designed to build participants' competences in dialogue and dialogue facilitation, offering practical tools, core concepts, and techniques that support meaningful and inclusive community dialogue processes.

The training is based on non-formal educational principles and methods adapted to the online ecosystem of learning. It consists of participatory and learner-centred workshops, and involves both individual and group learning with a reflective approach. Workshops are designed to encourage interactions, peer learning and exchange of ideas.
In the course, participants use a variety of tools, including a digital learning platform, a video conferencing tool, and an online whiteboard. Participants should therefore have a good internet connection (1 Mbit down/upload or better). A headset is highly recommended.
