WHAT IS PRODUCTIVE DIALOGUE?
Productive dialogue is a conversation that produces something, whether it’s mutual understanding, a clearer conception of an issue, or a solution to a problem. And it’s particularly important, and especially challenging, when people disagree.
REASONATE
Reasonate is a collaborative approach to productive dialogue that’s designed to identify, develop, and structure the application of key dialogue skills.
By representing the dialogue as an evolving network of claims written on sticky notes, Reasonate makes thinking more careful by slowing it down, eliminates the mental fatigue of needing to keep track of the issues in our head, and reduces negative emotions by focusing our attention on the reasoning rather than the people advancing it. Introductory information is in the video to the right and further instructions are below.
