Dialogue

Dialogue is a method that enables people in political and/or ethical conflicts and in situations of social division to actively listen to "the other" and build mutual understanding. Dialogue helps to make deadlocked situations manageable and to improve social relations in a society. Members of the field were appointed by the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue in Norwayin the "Dialogue" method. They apply "Dialogue" to political and social problems identified in the EMPK research projects. The department is a partner of the Ilmenau Dialogue Center IDC.
