The People Dialogue Festival
At the People Dialogue Festival, dialogue doesnโ€™t sit on a stage and talk at people - it moves, it listens, it involves. ๐ŸŽคโœจPDF is a creative civic space where conversations go beyond conventional panel discussions and into formats that are intentionally engaging, interactive, and people-centred. Here, audiences are not just consumers of information , they are co-creators of the dialogue. ๐ŸคFrom fireside chats and storytelling circles to artivism, edutainment, spoken word, and other creative formats, our partner organisations design sessions that spark reflection, participation, and real connection. ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ#ComeTubonge at #PDF2026 ! #FormNiDialogue ...
