At the DialogueLab actively involved parties, partners and volunteers of Utrecht in Dialogue make events together. Every second Thursday afternoon and every fourth Tuesday evening of the month. On Tuesday we meet at Maliebaan45 and on Thursday we meet at the Alchemist. You can also join the DialogueLab online via Zoom.

After the basic workshop Organizing Dialogue you can work with more experienced volunteers / stakeholders every month on organizing and communicating dialogue meetings in your organization, neighborhood, school, sports club or living area. You learn with and from each other how to organize a (neighborhood) dialogue, make flyers, place events on the website and social media, how to recruit participants, etc. Your buddies and partners are also very welcome!

Are you good at writing (web) texts? Do you like to make videos, photos or other images? Do you want to mean something, give back to society, but do not yet know how? You are very welcome!

Learn with and from each other

We work according to the principles of the valuing approach. We learn from positive experiences and use the power of our dreams to move forward. We make a sketch, design the structure of the dialogue and agreements on implementation: who picks up what and what else is needed.
