DEEP LEARNING THROUGH DIALOGUE -
THE DIALE PROJECT EXPLAINED


Calmar International are partners with representatives from Finland (Lead Partner), Spain, Cyprus, and the Netherlands in a project entitled DIALE - Deep Learning Through Dialogue. Over the past 10 years Dr. Helena Aarnio (Pictured on right )and her colleague Dr. Jouni Enqvist both of HAMK University, Hameenlina, Finland have been working on the development of a system to teach people to develop their skills in learning and collaboration with others.

Learning experiences are often considered superficial, discussions with other people are regarded as lacking in content and collaboration in various communities often remains shallow. The goal of "Deep learning through dialogue" is to facilitate learning, interaction and collaboration in various situations in educational, business organisations and in other communities.

Interaction, collaboration and deep learning can be learned through practising dialogue. Dialogue helps one get along with and improve one's collaboration with different people. In addition, conversation based on the principles of dialogue forces one to learn more deeply and more efficiently. This may seem implausible at first, but the effort is worth making.
