Dialogue –the Akido Principle
• Know yourself– What is my stand regarding the issue?– Why am I having this view (or feeling) of the issue?
• Go and meet the other– Share who you are – Listen to the other – Celebrate the similarities (Yehey!)– Wonder at the differences (Aha!)– A genuine conversation
• Plan the future together– Building a tolerant community
