Our Mission
To foster a more inclusive, empathic and collaborative society by promoting constructive conversations and relationships among those who have differing values, world views, and positions about divisive public issues.
Who We Serve
- activists in adversarial relationships who are interested in talking with each other directly, rather than through the media, in ways that reduce stereotyping and defensiveness
- groups and networks who seek to more effectively collaborate despite differences of identity or perspective
- civic leaders, political officials, and educators who seek to build community and enhance democracy
- religious leaders seeking to foster dialogue on divisive issues within and across communities of faith
- citizens interested in communicating across deeply rooted differences of perspective, identity or world view
- mediators and other third-party practitioners interested in learning new approaches to the design and facilitation of dialogue
- scholars in the fields of alternative dispute resolution, communication, and community building
- the public
