PROJECT TARGET
Strong cohesion through dialogical encounters
We create spaces for genuine exchange directly on site – to foster inclusive, democratic coexistence that reduces polarisation and strengthens trust.
Through circular dialogues, personal experiences and active listening, we promote respect, understanding and shared values.
Why now?
- Social division is growing.
- Politics, economics and the environment dominate the debates.
What we need is genuine cohesion, vibrant relationships and everyday dialogue – in communities, clubs and workplaces.
Our dialogue formats start where people meet: close, honest, and committed.
How does it work?
- Circular dialogue forums with a focus on inclusion and equal treatment.
- Contributions are based on personal experiences, not on the opinions of others.
- Confidentiality, respect and moderation ensure a safe atmosphere for discussion.
The aim: to clear up misunderstandings, defuse conflicts and open up new perspectives.
What do we offer?
A wide range of topics: local politics, democracy, economics, the environment, religion and personal education.
Three focus areas:
- Direct dialogue events
- local network with joint dialogues,
- international exchange for learning connections.
Practical:
- Involvement of local partners
- Training of dialogue facilitators
- Sustainable structures on site.
What do we achieve?
- Less inequality, more participation and self-determination.
- An inclusive community with stronger social cohesion.
- Real-life answers to polarisation – through dialogue instead of confrontation.
Target group
Anyone interested in genuine dialogue. Openness, respect and a willingness to engage in dialogue are essential prerequisites.
