Dialogue allows for people with diverse perspectives to discuss topics that are

important to them where all parties feel safe and respected no matter how great their

differences or point of view. It is possible for people who strongly disagree with one

another’s views to still have an opportunity to learn from one another without feeling forced

to either protect or change their opinions.
