The World Needs Dialogue! Five: Dialogue as Story - Hardcover

by Peter Garrett (Editor)

This is the fifth book of a series recording the highlights of the international conferences held annually by the Academy of Professional Dialogue under the title The World Needs Dialogue! In 2022 the theme was Dialogue as Story. This refers to the subtle and unnoticed way people make sense of the things they encounter by forming them into a story. Discord between various versions results in fragmented thinking and counter-productive activity. Together checking and updating our stories is a primary function ofDialogue. Some 315 participants from 24 countries actively explored this in plenary presentations and break-out Participatory Dialogues in this online three-day event.
