Mapping Dialogue

This document gives powerful practical tools for listening and involving people in the decisions that affect them. It is a survey of a range of tools for inviting groups into different sorts of conversations or dialogues. Hence it is a Map for Dialogue. More technically Mapping Dialogue Version 2.0 is a research project profiling dialogue tools and processes for social change.

These approaches can build unity and show how to collaborate irrespective of the size of the group. Take time to look through the Tools Section and you will find something there relevant and helpful to you.
