Recognition Night 2012

The wonderful and rich work and mission of the Network for Peace through Dialogue (formally called the Center of International Learning) has always been done with energy, joy and goodness of heart by members of our staff and board. Thus this year 2012 at Recognition Night we honor all those former (and present) board and staff who have journeyed with us over the years. We are a community, a people working together to make change. As we continue to confront dehumanizing challenges, we also want to celebrate our community and accomplishments . Those who practice dialogue learn to listen to and accept others without trying to change them.

Who Dialogues? (and when and where and how?)

2009. A book for classrooms, faculty committees, and community organizations where there is an interest in studying or engaging in dialogue. This publication summarizes the works for the 1st Dialogue Facilitators Networking Group, a skills-building course for dialogue professionals.

This practical yet visionary booklet belongs on the desk of every teacher, counselor, attorney, and those who specialize in dispute resolution. It highlights the skills necessary to *listen*, to dialogue *creatively*, and to achieve *community based consensus*. It demonstrates that while dialogue is essentially a two (or more) person exercise, real communication can begin with just one person who knows how to engage in "deep listening."

I think the book begins to answer at least two important needs: to see how dialogic thinking and practices actually play out in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural contexts, and to get an inside view on the process of practitioners' reflection on their own experiences. It's written in an easily-accessible style (no academic turgidity here) and offers questions to ponder and exercises that can be used "in the field" right away
