New & Improved Website for Intergroup Dialogue Leaders


Announcement:  New & Improved Website for Intergroup Dialogue Leaders

We have just re-designed the entire Dialogue to Action Initiative
website, adding lots of new features to help connect and inform
organizers, researchers and facilitators of intergroup dialogue.  Here
are a few of new features found at http://www.thataway.org/dialogue:

- An ongoing Calendar of Events of interest to dialogue leaders
(conferences, trainings, action events).

- The results of the survey we administered about a possible national
dialogue conference (over 115 dialogue leaders responded!).

- A listing of dozens of listservs, newsgroups, e-newsletters, and
other such interactive resources of interest to dialogue leaders,
peace builders and multicultural educators. Includes instructions for
subscribing and for submitting information.

- Four new links pages featuring annotated links to resources for
social change and activism, peace and conflict transformation,
community building and strengthening democracy, and resources for K-12
educators.

Plus:
Here's a way you can help us make our site better, and increase
awareness of your work at the same time. We'd like to add photos to
our site of people engaging in dialogue (or dialogue groups engaging
in action). Any pictures you provide that we decide to use will be
placed in prominent locations on the site and will be accompanied by
captions which include your organization's name and a link to your
website or email address (or other information of your choice). Email
me or go to our site for more info.

Thank you, and my best to you in 2002!

---------------------------------
The Dialogue to Action Initiative website features lots of new
resources this month to keep dialogue leaders informed, involved and
inspired. Click here to see for yourself: 
http://www.thataway.org/dialogue

The main page of our Community section features new resources like:
- an online map of civic engagement organizations
- info about World Caf�-initiated Conversation Month
- tips for raising money in uncertain times

Along with recently-published articles on dialogue, the new In the
Media page currently highlights:
- the impactful Jewish/Palestinian dialogue process initiated by San
Francisco's Libby and Len Traubman
- the upbeat way that Conversation Caf�s are being promoted in Seattle
- an online resource that helps you submit articles to newspapers in
your area.

Our Community Calendar now features nearly 70 events of interest to
dialogue organizers and facilitators, such as:
- a 7-week peace walk in Massachusetts which holds nightly dialogues
in communities along their route
- the 2nd e-Symposium on Conflict Prevention, which focuses on the
future of conflict prevention in the post-September 11 world
- The National Conversation on Youth Development in the 21st Century,
which is in need of more dialogue facilitators

We hope you enjoy and benefit from all of the new resources on the
site!  And please keep sending us (via email and mail) pictures of
your dialogues for us to post on our site!

Intergroup dialogue is a process which enables people from all walks
of life to talk deeply and personally about some of the major issues
and realities that divide them.  Dialogues are being organized in
communities around the world on such topics as racism, the current
crisis, abortion and violence in schools and communities, and they
often involve people who represent groups that are in conflict. 
Dialogues are powerful, transformational experiences that lead to both
personal and collaborative action.
