Some reviews from our partners
“I was really open to trying a new way of working, and it was fascinating to try something new. It was good to be challenged to listen lots, and use my ears rather than my eyes. The dialogue approach was great.”
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Musician - Project in partnership with Alchemic Sonic Environment
“We were coming to the topics inductively, bottom up. Developing ideas together and really exchanging own insights and building up
on them.”Solidialogues participant,

“The team added great value with their resilience, acute ability to read the room and the easiness with which they invite people to dialogue. Amazing to have had them on board in our Impact Hub adventures!”
