COMMUNITY DIALOGUE SPACES

Since its inception in 2002, the Equator Initiative has hosted a series of community dialogue spaces and special dialogue events in support of community work to achieve the MDGs. Over 500 community members have participated in these unique fora. The dialogue spaces themselves, their outcomes and the many personalities that give them shape, have been documented on individual websites. We invite you to explore these community-focused dialogue spaces and learn more about how communities are leading the way towards a more sustainable future.
