Orientation for Independent Dialogue Facilitators

The Dialogues are moments for;

• Engaging actors in the food systems approach in unusual ways;
• Enabling them to explore ideas together;
• Encouraging creativity, emphasising equity;
• Emerging more powerfully through connections;
• Elaborating pathways, intentions and commitments together.

The Dialogues are carefully curated and facilitated in order to help participants explore
convergences and differences. They are designed to offer informed, and constructive feedback
for use in the preparation of the Summit. The Dialogues approach enables participants to:

• Listen to each other;
• Welcome diverse perspectives;
• Seek out new connections;
• Explore both synergy and divergence;
• Collaborate in order to identify promising courses of action;
• Debate potential impact of different strategies.
