The power of dialogue to foster cross-sectoral collaboration – Results from Dialogical Work Erasmus (EuroHealthNet speaking)
Amidst the fast-paced transformations of our societies and increasing interdependencies among sectors, authorities face challenges in ensuring the inclusivity, efficiency, and sustainability of their interventions. Enhanced cooperation and breaking down silos are crucial to addressing these issues.
Recognising the vital role of interpersonal approaches in driving change, the Dialogical Work project proposed innovative methods to foster multidisciplinary collaboration across different levels of governance and sectors in the public sphere.
The project aimed to equip professionals from the health, social, and education sectors with the skills necessary to facilitate dialogue among various stakeholders, bridging significant communication gaps.
This event was hosted by Birgitta Sacrédeus, a member of the European Committee of the Regions, and was the final event of the Dialogical Work consortium. The consortium presented the project's main results and outcomes of its activities, and explored the importance of dialogue and how to engage through interactive activities.
