Let's Talk

Let's Talk

“Let’s Talk” has been bringing people with differing views into conversation since 2022. We are currently supporting municipalities in implementing dialogue processes on highly polarizing topics. The goal is to promote mutual understanding and overcome political deadlock.

Dialogue with those who think differently

A functioning democracy depends on building bridges between opposing viewpoints and dealing with conflict and divisive issues constructively. Since 2022, “Let’s Talk” has brought people with different opinions into dialogue. In our current pilot project (2024–2025), we support municipalities in developing and implementing dialogue processes on polarizing local political issues. The format helps pro and contra camps return to constructive conversation, enhances understanding of different positions and lived realities, and gets blocked political processes moving again. The project is run in cooperation with the Swiss Mediation Association FSM and financially supported by SGG, the 3FO Foundation, and Migros Culture Percentage.

Die Schweiz braucht eine demokratische Medien- und Informationsinfrastruktur

Die Schweiz braucht eine demokratische Medien- und Informationsinfrastruktur

Während private Medien unter massivem wirtschaftlichem Druck stehen, fragmentieren soziale Plattformen und künstliche Intelligenz unsere Informationswelten fortlaufend. Damit die Schweizer Demokratie funktionieren kann, braucht sie jedoch eine verlässliche Informationsinfrastruktur. Ohne Institutionen, die einen gemeinsamen Realitätsbezug herstellen, wird es nicht möglich sein, die zugleich kontroversen und konstruktiven Debatten zu führen, die den Kern unserer Demokratie ausmachen.

Mit deliberativen Formaten Demokratiedefizite in der Schweiz beheben

Die Schweiz bezeichnet sich gern als «beste Demokratie der Welt». Doch auch Demokratien, die auf ihre langjährigen demokratischen Traditionen stolz sind, stehen heute vor neuen Herausforderungen. Hier setzt die deliberative Demokratie an.
