Dialogue Project

"Mapping Dialogue" is an extensive report developed by the Pioneers of Change associates in 2005/2006 about foundations for, and approaches to, dialogue. It maps out 10 different dialogue methods in depth and a number of others more briefly. It also offers background on dialogue in traditional African culture, foundations for a good dialogue process, and ideas for how to assess what method to use in what context. The report was commissioned by GTZ as part of their support for the Nelson Mandela Foundations dialogue programme in South Africa.
