Providing communicators with the tools, technology, and skills to engage in productive public dialogue.

Discourse Labs develops research-backed tools and resources that encourage productive public dialogue. We focus on:

Health – Empowering communicators and their peers to address common health challenges that affect everyone, especially where there can be a lack of credible, accurate information.

Civic society – Enabling public officials and others to tackle the big questions about how society functions and to make room for productive discussion.

Community – Creating tools that build bridges and increase emotional and psychological resilience.

Discourse Labs empowers people to become more informed, better able to engage in positive exchanges, and more connected with others.
