Together you can develop an interesting theme, more powerful program, and ensure more diversity at the table to facilitate a richer dialogue. We get to know each other’s dreams, talents, and can create a valuable dialogue (series) for participants.
Learn from each other
We reflect on practical experiences, what our goals are, what is needed to make dialogues a success, as well as themes and questions that play a role. The workshop is built according to the principles of the appreciative approach: from exploring and sharing, to imagining, shaping and realising. We learn from positive experiences and use the power of our dreams to move forward. We explore ideals, possible themes and goals, share beautiful experiences to come to a unified vision. We will design the structure of the dialogue, and learn about the process of organising and conducting a successful dialogue.

New rules of conduct
We now live in a time with different rules of conduct. Where shaking hands stood as the national standard of how we treat each other, this is now prohibited and we must avoid social contact as much as possible: the public space is not yet locked down, but much is closed. We are not allowed to hoard, but you do want to have your necessities at home. We have to look at each other but now at a distance. Physical contact is no longer possible and this contact must shift to online. How do you deal with these new rules? Are you comfortable with that, do you stay at home or do you keep getting together with people you are attached to? Are you looking for other ways to keep in touch and to see your neighbors? And how do you deal with people who deal with the new rules differently from you? What are you doing then? Do you start a conversation, do you let it go, do you speak to people? What have you experienced, what is the outcome and how do you feel about it? Share your experiences, listen to those of others and discover what works.

Workshop: Impact of Dialogue
2020-06-10 19:30 - 22:00 | Zoom, Utrecht, Nederland
‘What is the impact of Dialogues?’ many of you might have thought at some point. That’s what went through Maria’s head, too, when she was preparing for her Master thesis.
Maria Chatzidionysiou, our Greek intern from Utrecht University, with her background in Early Childhood Education and her specialty in ‘Inclusive Societies’ from Utrecht University, saw the opportunity where involvement of the Dialogues’ methodology and education practice could be combined. Maria envisioned a possibility where Dialogues could be used as a tool against social polarisation and in favor of social inclusion in education and beyond.
But… who knows better than the people that are already engaged in Dialogues? What are the Dialogues participants, young or educators themselves, thinking about it and how do they define polarisation and inclusion in the first place? With these questions in mind, the research ‘The impressions of Dialogues and their educational use’ came to existence.
This Workshop Dialogues theme is inspired by the results of Maria’s research and in partnership with UNION. We will focus on how everyone experiences polarisation in society (segregation, discrimination) and the inclusion of people (feeling of belonging). What role Dialogues play in dealing with these issues in our work, our schools, around our family’s table?

Diversity Management
2020-08-18 19:30 - 22:00 | Utrecht, Nederland
Diversity has increasingly been an attention-grabbing topic, especially in multicultural societies as a result of various flows of migration from different countries and cultures for long years. The concept has also been promoted by many public and private institutions. Not only to create inclusive spaces for people with different attributes but also to be able to increase the funds and visibility. Whereas the scientific literature and policymakers tell that the management of cultural diversity enhances the organisations’ performances and profits, some researches show that organisations are far from having concrete diversity policies and strategies. The situation in the non-profit sector is much more ambiguous. However, the increasing diversity depending upon the constant migration, especially in the large cities, enforce to ask the non-profit voluntary organisations the question of how to manage ‘diversity’.
Thus, as a master student in Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Ceren Tunali tried to reply to this question and explore more about the perceptions of non-profit voluntary organisations towards the ‘diversity’ by conducting a research project on this issue. On the evening of 18th August, she will be presenting a short policy recommendation obtained as a result of this research. Join us to discuss and share your insights on the question of how to manage and enhance diversity in non-profit organisations!
Program
19:30 Welcome, introduction and presentation of the research
19:45 Presentation of the Policy Brief and Q&A
20:15 Discussion within groups

Why do we need to manage ‘diversity’?
How do we manage diversities within our organisations?
What kind of challenges do we encounter while managing diversity and how do we overcome these challenges?
What do we expect from a well managed diversity? What are the dreams?

Dialogue House Maliebaan 45

Dialogue House Maliebaan 45 is a meeting place for people with a passion for dialogue. For people who want to enter into a dialogue with each other under the guidance of expert facilitators, explore a theme in dialogue form, try out something new, discuss an idea or simply want to relax and join. Do you want to explore a theme, try something new, facilitate a table, do you have an idea or do you just wish to participate? Do you have any preferences? Do you only want to talk to women, young people or men? Would you like a table in English? Would you like to arrange or facilitate a table yourself? Or do you want something completely different?
