The Good Chat

About Us

The Good Chat is built from two years of research and many more spent working alongside communities across Southeast Asia.

We believe that conversation can move people, shift stories, and inspire change. Across cities like France, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Bangladesh, we’ve brought voices together to co-create new solutions.

The heart of our work is providing a platform for empathy and active listening.
