Dialogue circles are structured group discussions designed to promote open communication and understanding among participants. In these circles, individuals sit in a circle to create an inclusive environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to speak and listen. A talking piece, such as a small object, is often used to indicate whose turn it is to speak, ensuring that all voices are heard without interruption. These circles can be used in various settings, including schools, community organizations, and workplaces, to address conflicts, build relationships, or explore specific topics. By fostering respectful dialogue, dialogue circles encourage collaboration and help participants develop empathy and active listening skills.
