About us
The Common Ground Foundation is an independent organisation that aims to deliver intercultural learning & development initiatives that support people, organisations and communities to develop their capacities to understand and transform conflict beyond adversarial approaches toward effective, cooperative solutions. Based in the UK operating globally, our services aim to turn conflict into a powerful source of advantage for all.
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 understand their differences and act progressivley on the commonalities that they identify. Working collaboratively they are then 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.
