In an increasingly polarized world, the SFU Centre for Dialogue creates opportunities for constructive engagement and solutions-oriented outcomes.

Difficult topics. Contested facts. The wrong people in the room. Even the best organizations get stuck on the issues that matter the most.

That’s why governments, non-profits and busi­nesses actively seek out the SFU Centre for Dialogue’s innovative methods in public engagement, facilita­tion and process design. We add value to these clients through our status as a trusted facilitator and our reputation as a values-based social enterprise motivated by the public good.

Services include:

• Convening and facilitating transformational conversations with targeted populations
• Supporting citizens and governments in shared decision-making
• Multi-stakeholder problem solving and strategy development
• Online engagement and consultation
• Research and discussion materials
• Training and building the capacity of public and private sector teams to engage meaningfully with their constituents, clients and communities
