The Public Dialogue Forum is CID’s platform for constructive civic engagement, inclusive dialogue, and informed public discussion on issues shaping Cambodia and the wider region. Through dialogue series, forums, roundtables, youth dialogues, and public conversations, the platform creates spaces where diverse perspectives can be exchanged respectfully and thoughtfully. CID believes that democratic culture and peaceful social development depend on the ability of citizens and institutions to engage in dialogue, listen across differences, and participate constructively in public life. The Forum brings together youth, researchers, educators, civil society actors, policymakers, media representatives, and community members to encourage reflection, mutual understanding, civic participation, and evidence-informed engagement on governance, leadership, digital society, and public affairs.
