Leadership in the co-creation of positive change in our organizations and communities facilitated by conversations for meaningful action.

Designing with Dialogue (DwD) is a Toronto community of practitioners that gathers monthly to convene dialogue as a practice in social designing for the purposes of engaging the organizations, projects, and civic communities to which we're committed.

November's session will be held Tuesday, November 10 from 6:00 – 9:00.

Design with Dialogue has been evolving for over a year now, from its start as a local community of practice of business & social designers working with the practices of dialogue facilitation in client and community expressions. We have grown from about 6-10 regulars to a community of over 30-40 people who have supported different sessions.

Help us understand who we are becoming and who we will be together as we propose a new structure, for regular scheduled sessions, speaker sessions, and shared facilitation. Help us make that happen in November.

Feel free to join online and find us monthly at the Strategic Innovation Lab, OCAD, Toronto.

Dialogue is inspired by and led by questions that invite participation. Join us if you have something to learn and contribute.




This site and our "searching together" is dedicated to Dr. Liss Jeffrey, McLuhan Scholar and organizer of the eCommons / Agora Electronique and the first pan-Canadian online dialogues on Foreign Policy. We miss her voice and presence in the community.
