About Us
Encouraging Engagement Through Storytelling and Inclusion
At Dialogue Fosters, we recognise the capacity of stories to move across divisions and construct a sense of understanding between communities.
Our organisation gathers together migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to share their lived experiences through storytelling, creativity, and collective engagement. By showcasing these voices, we counter stereotypes, encourage empathy, and construct spaces to dialogue and connect.
In addition to the storytelling, we partner with educators, community organisations, and policymakers to develop inclusive practices and engage in evidence-based practices around migration and diversity.
Through training, research, and community-driven programs, Dialogue Fosters builds the underpinnings of equality, belonging, and intercultural understanding – ensuring that everyone is heard and every story matters.
- Our Mission
To empower migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to tell their stories, promote intercultural dialogue, and support inclusive communities through storytelling, training, and collaboration.
- Our Vision
A society where every voice is valued, diversity is celebrated, and shared stories cultivate understanding, equality, and social change.
Voices That Drive Change
At Dialogue Fosters, every story voiced is a step towards understanding, empathy, and inclusion.
Our storytelling programs offer migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers the space to draw upon their life journeys-not simply as personal narratives, but as powerful tools for social awareness and connection.
