Open Dialogue introductory seminars
A good way of being introduced to the Open Dialogue approach is by participating in one or two day seminars. In a one day seminar you can learn more about the history and the 7 Principles of Open Dialogue, the service in Western Lapland, and the practice of facilitating network meetings. In a two seminar it is also possible to start to practice some elements of the approach in small group exercises. These seminars can stand in their own right, for anyone interested in learning more about the approach, or be a useful way of determining whether to engage in Open Dialogue training programmes. Further details of online seminars currently planned and how to register your interest in an in-house seminar in your organisation, can be found below.
