Two principles guide the Dartmouth Dialogue Project:

• Early and ongoing exposure to the habits of authentic discourse by those who have wholeheartedly and successfully embraced this practice in their personal and professional lives is an essential component of training.
• Providing opportunities to practice the skills of respectful listening and speaking, including constructive assessment and feedback, is a crucial element of inculcating this practice.

The Dartmouth Dialogue Project will encompass a suite of signature offerings that provide our students, faculty, and staff with intentional training in the development of essential collaborative dialogue skills, including active listening, self-awareness, managing emotions, recognizing mis- and disinformation, and constructing a respectful well-reasoned argument. Participants will gain valuable experience in navigating conversations, finding meaning and points of connection, and promoting a culture of constructive and inclusive dialogue.

Additionally, the Dartmouth Dialogue Project harnesses and champions resources university-wide that foster the respectful and open exchange of ideas.
