Is it possible to discuss society constructively and get excited about the topic? The Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation, Sitra, the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland have established the new Timeout Foundation to increase dialogue in Finland. Timeout dialogue offers an opportunity to pause and consider things in peace. From our website you can find tools and inspiration for facilitating a constructive discussion. The tools are available for everyone to use. The tools help you for example to invite the ones who do not usually take part in conversations. Timeout breeds a feeling of inclusion between the participants and in societal inclusion in general. Moreover, it provides a deeper understanding of the topic in question and of different perspectives. At best, it generates unpredictable insights and new thinking. The goal is not unanimity.
