The Nordic Region has the prerequisites for creating learning through dialogue
Dialogue emerges from a genuine wish to understand others and thereby obtain much larger windows of opportunity - the common third. We gain new input and impulses, our opinions and assumptions are seen in a new perspective.
Much of what passes for communication is based on influencing others from already given positions. In a dialogue-based approach, the goal is to find new understandings by actively relating to the perspectives held by others.
The dialogue-based exchange of perspectives is an effective approach both as a method to encourage participation as well as to create innovation. At the same time, this ethos has huge learning potential.
The Nordic democratic tradition provides a particularly firm basis for the establishment of developmental and learning processes using a dialogue-based approach. We at the Learning and Dialogue Forum aspire to reinforce this unique learning environment via the help of knowledge resources and tools designed for dialogue processes.
