We are well known for our political dialogues - notably, we coordinate the work of the Open European Dialogue, Europe's first dialogue platform for elected policymakers.
Our aim is to create the conditions for better political dialogue in Europe and beyond.

We do this to assist our partners in achieving greater impact through process design tools.
Our goal is to disseminate our methodology and help build the capacity of the political sector to drive forward constructive political conversations and meaningful collaboration.
