DEMOS Dialogue is a method which supports encounters between equals and constructive societal conversations about different topics related to democracy. DEMOS Dialogue helps participants learn more about themselves, about each other and about democracy.
DEMOS Dialogue is a semi structured dialogue method. That’s because we wanted to make the method as easy as possible to facilitate as well as making it easy to participate in. Structure supports safety. Easy to use materials support taking action.
Explore the guide and organise your own DEMOS Dialogue! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us — we’re happy to help you get started.
