Finalists selected for an international camp speak about the Essentials of Dialogue course:
"Through this program, I have learned a lot about how to become an empathetic person, avoid stereotypes, respect the opinions of others, provide a safe space for people to express themselves, listen to others, understand and accept the differences among human beings, and use dialogues to reach effective conclusions when resolving issues." - Gomti, 17, Pakistan
"I would say that this course molds and broadens one's way of reflecting and thinking, along with a sense of empathy and kindness that comes naturally after taking these sessions." - Fatima, 15, Pakistan

"As president of the Model United Nations Society, I was asked to represent the Pakistan National Assembly at the last minute. Despite feeling unprepared and not fluent in Urdu, I used skills I learned at Seeds of Peace's Dialogue Academy to actively listen, remain open to different perspectives, and propose solutions that everyone could agree on. During a crisis situation on the final day of the conference, I proposed a solution thatconsideredallperspectives.Althoughitwasn'tchosen,Iwasawarded Best Delegate The Dialogue Academy taught me to consider multiple perspectives and prioritize understanding others. Dialogue and diversity are crucial in complex situations I highly recommend participating in this program to learn active listening, respecting diverse perspectives, and proposing solutions that consider all perspectives, skills that are essential intoday'sworld"

"My close friend shared a story and I could hear the sadness in his voice Without hesitation, I responded with empathy, fully understanding the weight of his emotions I encouraged him to not lose hope As I spoke, a smile spread across his face, and he thanked me for my support This moment reinforced the importance of empathy in all dialogues. Truly understanding and acknowledging someone's emotions can make a real difference. Showing empathy and respect towards others, regardless of their background or beliefs, is crucial to fostering healthy and inclusive conversations I realized that by practicing empathy, understanding emotions, and respecting identities, we can create a positive environment for open and meaningful discussions where everyone feels valued and heard. Empathy and respect are powerful tools that can help build more harmonious and respectful communities, and it is up to each one of us to practicetheminourinteractionswithothers."

"The Dialogue Academy is one of Beyond the Classroom’s latest initiatives that aim to foster compassionate and critical conversations across divides. Inspired by the separation caused by COVID-19, this is a brainchild of Qasim Aslam, who experienced first hand as a participant at the Seeds of Peace international camp, what a world where differences are dealt with through conversations and engagement would look like." Fatima Arif writes about The Dialogue Academy in The Fri mes article.
