In everything we do,
we cultivate and celebrate
empathy, compassion and love.
Our work involves four main elements:

We strengthen the skills and confidence
of traditionally underrepresented people
to present their stories and ideas effectively.

We provide opportunities
for people, especially those
whose voices are rarely heard,
to tell the story they want to tell.
So far, over a quarter of a million
people have shared their stories
in Global Dialogues’ activities.

We bring communities together
to learn and draw conclusions from those stories.

We amplify voices and stories,
as well as insights
gained from them.
For example,
Global Dialogues’ films –
based on the stories of people
who are typically underheard –
have been viewed well over 100,000,000 times on YouTube.
