Vidya By Pia & Bart

In this episode of the Vidya podcast, we discuss dialogue, which is one of the main reasons we started this whole podcast series. We define dialogue as a specific type of conversational method where ideas and opinions are exchanged, without trying to convince each other of each other’s rights or wrongs, with the objective to collectively learn, reflect and come to new insights. We discuss how people can use the method of meaningful dialogue much more in every day settings, be it work meetings, social gatherings, or any other setting where people come together and communicate. We discuss principles of dialogue, such as curiosity, deep listening, presence, surrender to the process and ‘no need to think’ and we give listeners some tips and examples on how to use dialogue in daily lives.
