Transformative dialogue is a process that allows participants to make decisions about the content, process, and outcomes of dialogue, as well as who will participate. It puts the agency and self-determination of participants at the center while allowing facilitators to co-create dialogue with members of organizations and communities. It also centers on the importance of changes in the quality of interaction between participants since these relational changes are at the heart of dialogue.
This book articulates core values that guide the practice of a transformative facilitator and shows how transformative dialogue works in a variety of contexts to support peace and justice.
