Dialogue Dispatch: June 3, 2025
Welcome to the third issue of . In this edition, we鈥檙e spotlighting key insights and outcomes from the 2024 deliberative Assemblies.
Incredibly, a year has flown by since , in May 2024, when the Centre for Dialogue was in the midst of facilitating three municipal Assemblies, bringing together diverse residents to deliberate and provide recommendations on local decisions. Additionally, the last year has seen us convening and developing resources for dialogue on critical issues such as health, climate, justice, housing and more.
We are finally able to catch our breath, and eager to share with you insights, stories and resources from the breadth of work we have been engaged in, starting this month with a reflection on the impacts and learnings from last year鈥檚 deliberative Assemblies. Stay tuned in coming months for more content on Dialogue Dispatch, including a brand new tool designed to build organizational capacity for public participation, resources for climate engagement and insights on youth engagement.
As always, we invite you to connect with us about news and opportunities for collaboration in your work.
