Celebrating a fantastic 2025 at Open Dialogues International Foundation

As 2025 comes to a close, we would like to take a moment and say THANK YOU to the whole ODIF Team for another year of amazing work!

What have we done in 2025?

We organised the fifth edition of our Open Dialogues on Climate Change annual project. Our outstanding Country Coordinators hosted 48 events, representing 21 countries across 4 continents. Teams raised awareness on issues such as plastic pollution, deforestation, climate adaptation, and just transition through inclusive dialogue. Congratulation to all ODCC members!

Alongside ODCC, we organised, hosted, and moderated 8 DialogueON webinars. Our monthly online event series discussed prominent social issues. This year we focused on topics such as Community Action, Women in Policy and Redefining Success. We particularly addressed topics related to mental health in the last quarter of 2025. Thank you to Naomi Lea for running our DialogueON project! Over 450 participants registered to hear 16 expert speakers. And you can now already register to join us for an exciting next dialogue workshop in January 2026!

Our inspiring COP30 side event addressed ‘Open Dialogues on Just Transition’. 4 ODCC presenters and 4 panellists were led by our outstanding moderator, Paul Jenkinson. Thank you to everyone involved and what a fantastic end to ODCC2025!

Finally, we had a lot going on behind the scenes. From new members to educational social media posts, from attending conferences to writing newspaper articles... ODIF worked hard to promote values of justice, equity, inclusion and most importantly dialogue. Thank you to our Founder and President, Zuzanna Borowska, for all her hard work alongside our Board, ODCC Mentors, and the whole ODIF Team. Thanks for your support!

We can’t wait for exciting new projects in the New Year. REACH OUT if you would like to get involved in Team ODIF, be a speaker at a DialogueON event, host a new ODCC team or support our projects in other ways!
