Dialogue Supporting Foundation “Let’s talk”

was established in 2019 as a response to the growing polarisation within Polish society. It emerged from the need to address the lack of contact and communication among people with differing worldviews, who often isolate themselves within their own information bubbles.

The foundation’s purpose and mission revolve around educational and promotional activities related to dialogue. Specifically, it aims to support and popularise the idea of dialogue in its broadest sense. The main efforts focus on integration, community-building, promoting tolerance, and preventing exclusion. Guided by European values, the foundation actively engages in various initiatives as conferences, seminars, and workshops. The organisation collaborates with other organisations that share its mission of dialogue dissemination.

It also emphasises non-formal education and motivates adults and youth to engage in lifelong learning. By actively supporting dialogue projects, they aim to create local communities that embrace diversity, practise mindful communication, and work together for the common good.
