More About Us:

Centro de Diálogo y Bienestar Humano is the result of work which began in the late Eighties in Japan, Malaysia, Western Europe, Australia, USA and México. While our physical location is in Chihuahua México, we have carried out activities over many years in Malaysia and more recently, in Singapore and India.

A sister Institution is currently being launched in Malaysia called Centre for Dialogue and Transformation: Integrating Humanity- Environment- Economy (CDT). While the CDT plans to offer the aforementioned services, we are hoping to expand into a holistic intervention model which views the human community as part and parcel of the natural environment. We are currently working with the Ecological Economics model to see how it might help usher in changes in the relationship between the human community, human economic activities and the natural environment. A tough question here concerns how a balance can emerge where economic activities are carried out within a rubric of sustainability and, ideally, of enhancing community and environmental wellbeing in the process.

Our Center has always been characterized as a bridging Institution, which aims to work with concrete needs on the ground, research them carefully, and offer tailor-made workshops, courses and other sorts of intervention meant to address the specific situation at hand. The broad range of service offered has emerged over time in response to changing needs and concerns found in civil society. We hope to always maintain this needs-driven approach to our academic work.
