THE
BRISBANE
DIALOGUES

BETTER DISCUSSIONS. BEYOND DEBATE.

WHO WE ARE.

We are a wholly independent, neutral, intergenerational, all-volunteer, not-for-profit project to stimulate genuine dialogue about big ideas and issues.

​

We are Australia's first dedicated civil discourse organisation and an expanding corner of the public square.

​

Our values are Civility, Civic-mindedness, Curiosity, Neutrality, Independence, Inclusion.

​

​Our goal is to be a preeminent facilitator of dialogue globally.

WHAT WE DO.

Conduct Public & Private Dialogue Events

Conduct public events on issues of national or global importance or interest, in the Big Dialogue format, as well as the monthly Tuesday Dialogues (formerly First Tuesday Club) and other private events, to demonstrate what better discussions look like.

Australian Dialogues

Australian Dialogues is an initiative of The Brisbane Dialogues to encourage and support coalitions of other organisations to conduct public dialogues along similar lines to our Big Dialogues series.

Dialogues @ School

Run Dialogues @ School, in which schools across Australia run annual dialogue events and/or a Dialogues Club, with our guidance and support.

THE BRISBANE RULE.

"All participants agree to listen carefully, speak respectfully and concentrate on the content of discussions, not on characters - before, during and afterwards, online as well as offline.”

The Brisbane Dialogues is the only organization in Australia dedicated entirely to acting on the polarization and toxic discourse undermining democracy, prosperity, and progress.

​

Donations enable us to support other organizations to have better in-person discussions, especially in lower socioeconomic and regional schools which cost more to service. (Our own event-based operations are self-sustaining, with minimal overheads.)
