Read more about who we are
Through the delivery of our intercultural and skill development programmes, the Common Ground Foundation aims to contribute to the transformation of how humanity addresses conflict: Empowering individuals, organisations and communities to move away from the use of adversarial approaches towards the use of collaborative problem solving techniques. To do so we employ culturally appropriate means whilst working with stakeholders to strengthen their capacity to deal with conflicts in a constructive manner and one that empowers them to build upon their expertise as we facilitate opportunities for them to explore their differences and act progressivley on the commonalities that they identify.
Working collaboratively participants are empowered to begin to transform the challenges that they face as individuals and within and between the organisations and communities that they belong to for mutual benefit. In the process they gain opportunity to explore conflict in its different forms, its causes, structure and relationship to identity whilst developing their skills for life.
Our programmes result in conflicts transformation becoming a powerful source of advantage for all.
