More in Common

More in Common is a new international initiative, set up in 2017 to build communities and societies that are stronger, more united and more resilient to the increasing threats of polarisation and social division.

Our approach is to:

• Develop and deploy positive narratives that tell a new story of ‘us’, celebrating what we all have in common rather than what divides us

• Connect people on a large scale and across lines of difference, through events and campaigns.

We are currently running pilot projects in both these areas and look forward to sharing more in the coming months. While we are just getting started, More in Common has already established national hubs in the UK, US, France and Germany and has published early findings from our first stages of work.

More in Common is governed by a Global Board of Directors. The Board provides oversight on the strategic direction of the organisation as a whole. Members of the Global Board bring a wide range of international experience at the highest levels of government, academia, civil society and philanthropy.
