Public Conversations Project

A pioneer in the field of dialogue, the Public Conversations Project was founded to foster inclusive, civil, and collaborative societies by promoting constructive conversations and relationships among those who have conflicting values, beliefs, or positions regarding public issues.

PCP has facilitated dialogues on diverse issues including religious differences, forest use, biodiversity, abortion, the Red/Blue political divide, civil war in Africa, same-sex marriage, international women''s rights, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In today''s world, where polarization is endemic and words too often wound or inflame, work that fosters peaceful coexistence is needed more than ever. PCP''s dialogues transform communication, increase understanding, and improve relationships among adversaries of many kinds. Our methods improve the quality of discourse and open pathways to effective problem solving, decision making, and collaborative action.
