About Dialogue Solutions

Dialogue Solutions Limited was incorporated in October 2019 and launched on 11 October 2019 in Port of Spain.

Our philosophy

Dialogue comes from the Greek roots dia- ("through" or "across") and -logue ("discourse" or "talk"); a solution is a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation. Dialogue was at the heart of the Socratic method, in which probing questions cumulatively revealed unsupported assumptions, a way of "giving birth" to the truth.

Our mission

Our overarching goal is to create a space in which dialogue-based problem solving and skills development supports better choices and better outcomes throughout the Caribbean.

Our vision

Conflicts can be transformed into opportunities, and disputes can flourish into productive relationships.
