Dialogue is born from an attitude of respect for the other person, from a conviction that the other has something good to say.
Pope Francis

In a world of disinformation, sound bites and echo chambers, our conference will explore how we promote genuine communication and encounter through areas such as the media, arts, education, diplomacy and political engagement led always by the Spirit of Truth.

Our aims:

  • To increase participants understanding of how language and other forms of communication are used or misused in our current context
  • To help participants challenge disinformation and divisive rhetoric, change narratives, foster dialogue and encounter, and speak truth to power.

In celebrating 60 years of Nostra Aetate Pope Leo XIV said the document “opened our eyes to a simple yet profound principle: dialogue is not a tactic or a tool, but it’s a way of life – a journey of the heart that transforms everyone involved, the one who listens and the one who speaks.”  

In this current climate the need for us all to be able to communicate is more important than ever.

This year we have an excellent keynote speaker lined up, who cannot be named for the time being, but who is a major voice shaping national conversations.

We also have a wide range of Workshops all working around our theme.
