Who we are
Mission

The overall mission of DSE is the promotion of empathy towards populations who are excluded or at the risk thereof.
Today there is a need to change and broaden pre-existing assumptions and predjudices. Join us in the incredible journey.
DSE addresses this through transformative learning that breaks down existing patterns of thinking & behavior.
Founder

Dr. Andreas Heinecke is a founding visionary who has, together with Orna Cohen, founded Dialogue Social Enterprise (DSE). In 1982, right after his studies, Andreas started his professional career as a journalist at a German radio station. Andreas "met" blindness when his good friend and colleague lost his eye sight. Andreas helped him return to his work station, by developing a first work training for blind persons.

Our team is comprised out of a wide array of different nationalities, age groups, and wonderful personalities.
Several of our team members are visually impaired. We thrive in our diversity and we pride ourselves because of it.
