The Power of Dialogue - World Philosophy Day Panel

The Power of Dialogue

A dialogue is a form of communication that connects and elevates people. As opinions and positions become more radicalized, the ancient art of dialogue is being forgotten.

Unlike a debate, which is a contest to defeat one's opponent, dialogue aims for mutual understanding. In a debate, one side is defeated; in a dialogue, both sides win.

Join us for a special online panel for International World Philosophy Day with communication experts discussing the power of dialogue.
