Our Definition of DialogueGENERATION GLOBAL

Dialogue is an empowering process which enables students to encounter

the other in a safe environment; transforming the unfamiliar into the

familiar. It is profoundly reciprocal, and rooted in an open, mutually respectful

approach.

What do we dialogue about?

• Insight into experiences rather than facts• Exploring Beliefs & Values• Understanding rather than knowledge• Deep and focused rather than wide and

superficial

• Vernacular and messy rather than elite and tidy

GENERATION GLOBAL

• Speaking honestly, openly and personally.• Listening deeply and actively to what people are
