As a platform of dialogue between Christians and Marxists/Socialists, Dialop Project wants to build a space to reach into the deepest roots of our respective traditions where we can share the reasons for our struggles and renew our commitment to democracy and peace.

We therefore commit ourselves, in the academic field, in politics, and in activism, drawing on our experiences and responding to the challenges posed by our diverse cultures and countries.
