America’s common ground

GOVERNANCE

by THE OLBIOS TEAM

Conflict and differences are inevitable. Violence is not. The organization Search for Common Ground partners with people around the world to ignite shared solutions to destructive conflicts. They work at all levels of society to build sustainable peace through three main avenues: Dialogue, Media, and Community. Their goal: provide a safe space for people to work out their conflicts at the local level. With some creative thinking, they manage to bring divided communities, neighbors, and families together to discover their common humanity. Indeed,across political divides, and spanning religious affiliations, more and more Americans are speaking out for religious freedom. SFCG takes a look at the differences that divide the people, and how we can overcome them. Their methodology is based on one fundamental principle: Understand the differences; act on the commonalities. But as global conflict has become more diffuse, so has their search for common ground. They currently work in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States; thousands of people participate directly in their programs, and they reach millions more through media projects.
