Another major component of PASSIA's activities is the Dialogue Program. Program activities - hosting guest speakers, briefing individuals and delegations, and organizing roundtables and debates - are designed to meet the following principles and values:

1. Meetings provide a venue for the presentation, analysis and exchange of local and international perspectives; speakers and participants are drawn from a diverse range of professional and intellectual backgrounds.
   
   
2. PASSIA meetings strive to serve as catalysts for civic dialogue and fostering a better understanding of Palestinian affairs, be they in the domestic or international context.
   
   
3. PASSIA ensures that symposia and workshops are open, self-critical and conducted in a spirit of harmony and cooperation. Ideas - even if controversial or painful - are discussed uninhibited and uncensored.
   
   
4. Public discourse stirred by debates and discussions is welcome and encouraged if conducted with respect, academic rigor, and if focused on creating a greater understanding of the Palestinian question; propagandistic or one-sided/dogmatic efforts are rejected.
   
   
5. Contents and agendas of meetings and briefings classified as "closed" or subject to "Chatham House rules" are announced as such in advance and will not be publicized. Participants of those events are thus informed and expected to respect stated guidelines.
   
   
6. Meetings and briefings taking place under the auspices of PASSIA are documented and listed both in PASSIA's annual reports and website. All encounters include ideally a summary and are documented as follows:
   
       - Date
       - Place
       - Topic
       - Speaker(s)
       - Discussant(s)
       - Participants.
   
   
7. Where necessary and/or appropriate, meetings are recorded, transcribed and published - either in book form or web-based - and thus made available to a wider audience.
