History

European Dialogue was launched in 1990, with the support of Charter 88 and Liberty, as an independent, not-for-profit organisation to promote peace, democracy, social justice and environmental responsibility in a united Europe.

European Dialogue developed out of the work of European Nuclear Disarmament (1980-1990) which helped to establish a network of opposition groups in Central and Eastern Europe and the non-aligned peace and democracy movements in Western Europe and North America (the OSCE countries).

European Dialogue is a founding member of the pan-European Helsinki Citizens Assembly (hCa) network, a rich resource in terms of like-minded NGOs and individuals; many of whom we are still working with today.
