Dialogue Matters

dialogue matters was set up in 2000. Our unique strength is that we combine qualifications and experience in environmental management with the skills and experience to design, facilitate and advise on good practice stakeholder participation. We have trained over 300 environmental professionals and academics in our open course and through in house training. Our training is rooted in our experience of designing and facilitating environmental dialogue here and abroad. Organisations we have done work for include: Defra, Natural England, The Environment Agency, CCW, CEFAS, UKCIP, Wildlife Trusts, European projects, DG Environment, UN Regional Sea Conventions, Academic Institutes, environmental ministries in eastern European, and for a pan African network of senior scientists and policy makers If we want better environmental decisions we need more people with skills to run, or commission, good practice stakeholder participation. We can provide you with the training you need. Our courses will help participants: Explore the benefits and challenges of involving stakeholders in decisions about the environment Understand the principles and concepts of stakeholder participation Learn practical facilitation skills and how to design a participation process
