The principles of dialogue are: equality, respect, security and jointly identified issues.

How does it work?
The dialogue is great attention and care paid to the way of meeting , before the content is explored.
By naming a careful and safe setting the basics and after being created live at the beginning peace and commonality. Rest, because everyone realizes to be heard. Common factor that all participants in this open setting and with these principles they recognize that there is more that binds than divides them.
The basis of the dialogue is that all participants in the dialogue in this open setting come together in a circle. Symbolically, this indicates that everyone is equal and respected. The security that the respect and equality offer is reinforced by the attitude of the dialogue facilitator who monitors the atmosphere and promotes the principles of dialogue.
All participants must have something to do with the issues to be discussed. Everyone participates will take part as a person and not as a representative.

The dialogue form to be experienced right there within a group or circle a number of guidelines that one must follow. These guidelines are intended to respect everyone and to ensure that each participant takes time to share his own truth from his individuality . Everything is heard. Ultimately we are working from the trust can get each group to each floor , and possibly with a respectful solution .
These guidelines are:
1. No one speaks twice before each and everyone has spoken once. Only one speaker at a time.
2. Speak about yourself from experience, your own feelings (no advice or stories outside you). Share why you say what you say, share your underlying motivations; I …….
3. Talk about what moves you in the subject, no back and forth chats, don’t respond to something that is said unless it hits a nerve.
4. After a short silence, speak from your heart, and not your first reaction or thought.
5. Focus on the (learning) experience and not on the result.
