DialoguePerspectives participated in the 2024 Alumni Meeting of Start Alumni e.V. We hosted a session where we presented the programme and conducted a workshop with the participants on the topic “Reflecting Crises – Fostering Collaborative Action”. The aim was to emphasise dialogue as a method. Current crises such as the climate crisis, geopolitical conflicts, the growing right-wing shift and the rise of ethno-nationalism etc. highlight the need for collective action and open dialogue. In this session we also explored the elements of effective communication in times of crisis, especially in a poly-crisis. We recognised that a poly-crisis, which involves several interrelated problems, requires a nuanced approach. It is important to consider the convergence of our crisis experiences and to create space for constructive dialogue.
˝DialoguePerspectives enabled me to meet people with diverse backgrounds and different worldviews – many inspiring encounters and interesting discussions will stick with me forever. If you want to meet other young academics from all over Europe, reflect on your own identity and widen your horizon - apply!
