Dialogue Practices

DIALOGUE PRACTICES

• Listen for Understanding—Listen with equal respect for each person.
• Speak from your heart, as well as from your mind—speak when you are moved to make a contribution from your own experience.
• Suspend Judgment—let go of any need to be right or have a right answer; try to suspend certainty.
• Hold space for Differences—embrace all points of view; change the "buts" to "and"; remain open to all outcomes.
• Slow Down—let there be spaces, silence in the dialogue.

Why Dialogue?

Network for Peace through Dialogue is grateful for the many years of productive collaboration with Marymount Manhattan College (MMC). With their administrative and faculty support we hosted our three Major Conferences at MMC: 2007 Conference - Why Dialogue? (and when and how and where?) , in 2009 Conference - Dialogue In/As Action and 2010 Conference - Network for Peace Youth Dialogue. In addition, many dialogue sessions were held on the MMC campus. We hired several excellent part-time staff from the MMC student body. We partnered with the Communications Department which directed students to creat many of the videos on our web and Youtube. While we are proud of all the videos created by Marymount students, we feature this special one titled "Why Dialogue" by Neath Williams.
