About the Academy

Dialogue is a generative form of group conversation designed to dissolve fragmentation in collective and individual awareness and understanding, and to encourage coherent participation.

The Academy aims to:

• Inspire people to transform organisations and communities through Dialogue
• Acknowledge those who are engaged in effective Professional Dialogue™ work
• Support people who want to learn how to practice Dialogue
• Develop the breadth and depth of the whole field of Professional Dialogue™
