The Public Conversations Project guides, trains, and inspires individuals, organizations, and communities to constructively address conflicts relating to values and worldviews through dialogue and facilitated conversations.
The Public Conversations Project first entered the public eye with a series of citizen dialogues about abortion. This was followed by a highly publicized article about five years of groundbreaking dialogues between pro-life and pro-choice leaders after the fatal 1994 shooting of two women's health clinic workers in the Boston area. PCP also designed retreats that helped groups reach consensus about topics ranging from forest management to population to development.
In 1994, the Public Conversations Project began offering training to the public. Since then, more than 1,500 individuals have received training in facilitating dialogue and other related subjects. In addition to dialogue facilitation and training workshops, PCP offers consultations, customized trainings, and conference design.
Today, PCP and its diverse staff have worked regionally, nationally, and globally in 38 U.S. states and 15 countries. The organization's project work has included a wide range of contentious issues including partisan politics, homosexuality in faith communities, the Israel/Palestine conflict, environmental divides, post-genocide reconciliation, labor standards in the developing world, and racial, cultural, and economic divides at nonprofits and academic institutions. PCP’s distinctive approach continues to incorporate best practices from family therapy, psychology, appreciative inquiry, dialogue, and deliberation.
