Support the Open Dialogues that change the world! 💜

Through this dedicated fundraiser you can support the daily work and activities of the Open Dialogues International Foundation.

What do we do?

We are an international NGO, founded by Zuzanna Borowska and active since 2022. We are officially registered in the Republic of Poland and we hold the status of a Public Benefit Organization (Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego). Our work is dedicated to the values of intercultural dialogue, cooperation, sustainable development, democracy, and equality for all.

We coordinate the Open Dialogues on Climate Change and DialogueON projects. We organize various educational activities and awareness-raising campaigns and support grassroots initiatives. We engage in local, national, and global advocacy and policy processes to represent the voices of marginalized groups.

DialogueON Project

Each month, we host a DialogueON event in which we create the space for conversation on important social and environmental issues. The focus of DialogueON is dialogue - we want our audience to share their experiences. Past events have included Women in Policy, Youth Participation, Measuring Success in the climate space, and Eco-Anxiety. These topics are all close to our message at ODIF: creating dialogue in an inclusive and equitable way.

In 2025, we hosted 8 different webinars that gave our audience a fantastic platform to share their thoughts. Through persistent dialogue, we raised awareness of over 20 different social issues to over 165 participants. Our 16 expert speakers shared their thoughts, perspectives, and experiences. We are super excited for all that is to come in 2026!

ODCC Project

Alongside our DialogueON series, we also host our annual Open Dialogues on Climate Change project. By mentoring and supporting Country teams across the world, our network aims to create a tangible difference to climate. We bring together the voices of different social groups, allowing them to meet, engage in a conversation, and create proposals of specific solutions and system changes which we aim to implement in real life.

The 2025 edition of the ODCC, coordinated by the Open Dialogues International Foundation, was a tremendous success, reaching 46 teams in 35 countries across 4 continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. 48 Open Dialogues happened between June and October 2025, discussing a wide range of topics, from climate education, through just transition, adaptation and resilience, agriculture and food, all the way to finance and policy. Each of these events was special and they all brought together local communities and diverse social groups. The COP30 in Belem, Brazil summarized ODCC 2025 with an official side event titled "Open Dialogues on Just Transition: Transforming the system without dispute”.
