A little about us

We have more
in common than
we think.

Peace begins when we make room for each other.

Kilimanjaro Dialogue Institute is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation creating space for intercultural and interfaith dialogue.

Founded in May 2014 by people from different professions, we bring academicians, journalists, religious leaders, politicians and diplomats together — to share knowledge, respect differences and build lasting relationships.

The purpose behind our work
01 / Our mission

Make room for
understanding.

To establish a dialogue platform for diverse groups that contributes to peace, respect and mutual understanding — across differences in race, ethnicity, culture and religion — for a cohesive life.

02 / Our vision

A society where
everyone belongs.

A society flourishes when it treats everybody with dignity, equality and justice. We nurture respect, tolerance, love, compassion and forgiveness.

The principles we live by

Peace is a practice.
Every single day.

Five commitments guide the way we bring people together and turn understanding into action.

One table. Many perspectives.

guide, govern and represent us sit at the same table.
