Future 500 Microgrant 2026
by Adam Harfouch
The project is developing a practice-oriented toolkit for dialogue formats based on a body-centred approach (‘embodied listening’). The aim is to explore new ways of addressing social polarisation by not seeking to resolve differences, but rather to shape them productively. As part of the project, the methodology is being empirically tested, evaluated and iteratively refined through pilot workshops. Based on these experiences, the approach will be analysed and refined in a targeted manner, and then reapplied in a second context. The toolkit is aimed at dialogue practitioners, education professionals and civil society initiatives, and is designed for broad application in a variety of contexts. By developing a transferable methodological approach, the project contributes to the sustainable strengthening of interreligious and societal dialogue skills.
