The SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue

The Mitigating Wildfire Initiative (MWI) was founded by Simon Fraser University’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue.

The Centre for Dialogue creates real-world impact for society’s most pressing challenges by using dialogue and engagement to co-create solutions, exchange knowledge, support community-engaged learning, and to build the capacity of others in the knowledge and practice of dialogue.
