Rebecca Cannara and Francine Ortega bring their experience in community-based dialogue to this participative webinar. While much Professional Dialogue work occurs within organisations, community contexts present distinct challenges: participants may not share institutional frameworks, power dynamics are less visible, and outcomes must serve people who may not be in the room. Cannara and Ortega explore how dialogue principles translate when the boundaries are neighbourhoods rather than corporations. What changes when you cannot rely on shared organisational identity? How do you sustain dialogue when participants can simply walk away? In this webinar, cohosts Linda Ellinor and Nancy Dixon interview both practitioners about their work before opening to participant questions and small group reflection. For practitioners interested in applying dialogue beyond traditional organisational settings, the session offers practical insight into community-based practice where the usual assumptions about convening authority and participant commitment may not hold.
