About the course
The Dialogue Course was developed by the Norwegian Humanist Association in collaboration with the Humanist chaplain in Oslo. This course is about how you can meet others with greater openness, curiosity, and respect. You will learn to listen, understand, and contribute to meaningful conversations, even when you disagree.
The next course will be held in two sessions on 22 September and 6 October.
Is this you?
- You wish to feel more confident in conversations and interactions with others
- You wish to listen better and understand more before responding
- You find disagreement or conflict difficult
- You often end up in debate rather than dialogue
What will you get?
- An introduction to what dialogue really is and why it matters
- Tools for active listening and clear communication
- Exercises that strengthen self-awareness and presence in conversations
- Reflection on your own patterns and habits in encounters with others
