Dialogue Workshop @ UU onderwijsfestival
How can we facilitate dialogues — including about sensitive or contentious topics — that move beyond surface exchange, foster novel insight, and generate connection?
How can we host conversations that matter — that build trust and support positive change?
In this short Workshop, you’ll learn about Stream-of-Consciousness (SoC) dialogue — a simple but remarkably potent dialogical practice that supports reflection, mutual understanding, and collective sense-making.
Next to it being generally effective (that is, resulting in high-quality conversations), the method is also easy to learn and adaptable to many contexts — from education and facilitation to leadership, coaching, and community work.
And that’s exactly what you’ll gain by participating in this workshop: you will not only learn about the method, but experience it, and get ready to use it in your own setting.
The workshop is therefore experiential by design. You will:
- learn about the research behind the practice;
- understand the core principles that make it generative and safe;
- discover why and how it supports learning, collaboration, and transformation;
- participate in a Stream-of-Consciousness dialogue yourself;
- explore how to use it in your own contexts;
- and receive a manual with clear steps and variations you can use immediately.
This workshop is part of Utrecht University’s annual Onderwijsfestival.
