Higher Education
Higher education institutions face the challenge of preparing their graduates for the 21st-century workforce, which is now more diverse, international and remote than ever before. At the same time, students face the challenge of navigating an increasingly polarised world in which they have to position themselves within a stream of information, opinions, algorithms and biases through new forms of media. This requires new approaches to teaching and learning that go beyond subject-matter knowledge and focus on personal development and transversal skills.
Our solutions to these challenges offer students the spaces and tools to humanise ‘the other’ and constructively engage with difference. Dialogue is a proven method to bring together people with different ideologies, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to learn with and from each other. Our innovative approach of combining dialogue expertise with online facilitation experience means that we are able to deliver virtual programming that is just as powerful and effective as in-person experiences, but with the added benefit of increased diversity and inclusivity. Students with little or no access to international and/or intercultural experiences can take part with only an internet connection, and there is no limit to how many nationalities and walks of life can be included. Our programmes are unique in magnifying the learning and the depth of dialogue through adding a thought-provoking online curriculum and reflective and collaborative assignments.
