Resources:Defining Dialogue & Deliberation Describing dialogue and deliberation is harder than one might expect. The terms mean different things to different people. Here are some definitions from various leaders in the D&D community. Why Do Dialogue & Deliberation Matter? There are so any great organizations promoting and organizing dialogues (deliberative or not) today. Here are some of their inspiring reasons for fostering D&D. Each D&D community of practice has developed its own terminology to describe what they do. This is by far the most comprehensive list of D&D-related terms and definitions available online. Our field has developed from the grassroots, and this page attempts to identify the numerous overlapping communities of D&D practice that now exist. A work in progress! From AmericaSpeaks to the Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy to the World Café?…D&D programs and organizations are as varied as the problems they solve and the people they impact. Some of the best online resources on D&D that are out there. Eight sets of ground rules from groups that span the practice (online, face-to-face, small group, community-wide, etc.). Get ideas for your own program. Need training in dialogue facilitation? In facilitating public participation programs? In online moderation? Interested in finding out which D&D techniques offer training programs? Guides to Dialogue & Deliberation How-to guides to help you organize and facilitate a D&D program on a variety of topics, utilizing a variety of models. Books and Manuals on Facilitation Techniques Whether you want to facilitate using Open Space Technology, Dynamic Facilitation or another specific model ?– or just want to improve your facilitation skills, these books are for you. The must-have books of our field, spanning the spectrum of practice. If you haven?’t read these fabulous works, you should at least be familiar with many of them.
