Theme
Global connection for peace and democracy
Under the impression of the global corona(COVID-19) pandemic and worrying political situations in various parts of the world, it becomes clear to us how vulnerable democracy really is and how much need there is to encourage a dialogical approach among even larger circles of the population. We believe that it is our responsibility to engage in constant mutual understanding and collaborative endeavor through dialogue in order to build democratic relationships in families, groups, organizations, communities and nations.
We hope this online conference contributes to spread the idea of dialogical approach, and to establish networks nationally and internationally to develop a peaceful and democratic world.

Plenary addresses
(P3) The Dance of Dialogue: The Promise and Perils
Speaker: Kenneth Gergen
[abstract]
Through dialogue we construct our understandings of the world, our rationalities, and our values. However, dialogue can take many different forms, and these forms may lead to peace, harmony, or creative excitement on the one hand, or alienation, anger and bloodshed on the other. Here it is useful to view these dialogic forms as dances. They are patterns of coordination that often carry long-standing tradition; but like dance they may be improvised in action, or created anew. Drawing from therapeutic, organizational, and peace-building practices, I will illustrate how a focus on patterns can lead to major advances in building dialogues of promise as opposed to peril.
(P5) Dialogue depathologize human challenges and make people more equal
