dialog-cafeDialogue Cafés around the world will be linked by high definition screens so that ordinary people from different cultures can meet, talk and innovate together. The cafes are a bottom-up movement that complements the tradition of addressing sustainability issues from the top.

Dialogue Cafe is facilitating dialogue between people from all walks of life, across the world, to address social issues ranging from youth literacy to urban development.

The premise of Dialogue Café is that given the opportunity, ordinary people will explore their common interests, even across geo-political divides. TelePresence screens in cafés will enable people to chat, exchange ideas and collaborate in new ways. People can be directly involved in creating solutions in their communities – solutions that need not be isolated. A broad dialogue with a diverse group of people can exponentially expand our collective ability to solve problems and innovate as a global community.

Dialogue Cafe will provide people from all walks of life, in different countries, the space and tools to get together to solve complex problems.
