About


About Dialogue in Action: As the name suggests, Dialogue in Action reflects the core philosophy and approach to conflict management that dialogue is not simply a passive exchange of words but a powerful force that drives action, creates understanding, and leads to tangible results. This organisation is deeply committed to going beyond mere conversation and empowering clients to translate dialogue into concrete action steps that generate social change.

With over 20 years of experience operating in conflict countries as well as my home country The Netherlands, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of dialogue in creating sustainable solutions and fostering positive societal shifts. Inspired by the impact of dialogue in real-world action, I established Dialogue in Action to guide individuals, organizations, and communities towards constructive engagement and tangible outcomes.
