DE LUISTERACADEMIE

The Listening Acadamy was founded in 2015 out of a fascination for the subtle yet strong impact that a listening attitude has on all facets of life. While personal interactions reach surprising depth with a generous listening attitude, creativity can flow when a listening space is offered that approaches the other with an open mind. Also, conflictuous situations are unraveled and its underlying needs exposed, when we are capable of listening beyond our own prejudice and fear... We work specifically in the field of dialogue facilitation between stakeholders of diverse backgrounds as well as consultancy and design of participatory processes for public bodies such as local and national government and universities. Since listening is our core business, it is essential to us to develop an approach together with the actors involved and in congruence with the aims of the societal and/or professional needs at hand.
