The context of the project in which dialogue methods were used.<br> 2. Why dialogue was chosen to progress the project&rsquo;s aims.<br> 3. Which dialogue method was used and a brief description of the process.<br> 4. The outcomes of the dialogue. Did it meet its objectives? Were there unintended outcomes?<br> 5. Lessons learned and/or things you might do differently next time. </p> </blockquote></td> </tr> </table> <p>However, feel free to present your material creatively. You do not need to use the topics as headings but we would like your study to cover the five issues if possible. <br> Ideally we are looking for approximately 800 words with the option of one or two pictures or diagrams.
