Therefore in cooperation with the Norwegian Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue and with other local social organisations we have started a unique initiative titled: "Turn off your ego. Understand one another" (in Polish: "Wyłącz ego. Zrozum drugiego").

As part of the initiative we are training representatives of dozens of non-governmental organisation to enable them to professionally organise dialogues in local communities, free from judgments and prejudices. For us, dialogue forms a key social competence comprising knowledge, skills and attitudes, which means that the art of dialogue can simply be learned, developed and mastered. This is precisely the aim of the workshop "Turn off your ego. Understand one another”.

The workshops on dialogue are led by experienced coaches from the Nansen Center. Their teaching method is a result of more than twenty years of experiences of the Norwegian organisation in building dialogue in conflicted communities around the world.

Our conversation with Konrad Ciesiołkiwiecz on the state of dialogue in Poland and in the world is accessible here.
