Join the community

With a community of users, facilitators and ambassadors, Wageningen Dialogues provides inspiration and support to enhance dialogue. Only through connections we can truly contribute to complex transitions. We offer our community an exciting network, learning platform, and interesting courses.

The Dialogue Community is an interactive learning community that shares a collective philosophy and develops indispensable skills for dialogue and deliberation processes. Monthly meet-ups are organised to excite you and increase your dialogue knowledge and skills. They will make you more comfortable to make use of the potential of dialogue, let you experience the power of dialogue, and offer a space to inspire others. Anyone working or studying at WUR can join the community by registering here. The Facilitators Pool might be of interest for those that wish to further develop their skills as a facilitator.
