The Exposure and Dialogue Programme Association is an
active advocate for more justice in the world and decent
living conditions for people in Asia, Africa, Latin America
and Eastern Europe.
We
want,
- to examine our own political and economic
decisions to ensure that they are not taken at the expense
of the poor and marginalised,
- to help shape socially acceptable globalisation
and to promote the dialogue between cultures and religions,
- to increase support in society for poverty
alleviation and enhance the understanding for holistic
development,
- to enable all to share in and benefit
from development,
- to shape a world that is viable for the
future.
The individual exposure and
dialogue programmes not only offer in-depth insights into
the real lives of the poor, they also provide sound information
about strategies, possibilities and measures for improving
the situation of the poor. They enable the participants,
first and foremost, to discover the self-help potential
of the poor.
We want to bring together key people from
bilateral and international development co-operation organisations,
members of societal organisations and the churches, politicians
and development practitioners, in order to give them the
opportunity to experience poverty first-hand and to impart
innovative know-how.
For example, the following goals can
be achieved with the help of exposure and dialogue programmes:
- Support for the development of participatory
institutions and pro-poor services.
- Contributions to the development and
testing of new strategies, instruments or methods of
participatory poverty alleviation.
- Networking of local or international
organisations, politicians and academics who are working
in the same field.
- Fostering and extending the learning
community of the universal church.
