SFCG work with local partners to find culturally appropriate means to strengthen societies’ capacity to deal with conflicts constructively: to understand the differences and act on the commonalities.

Using innovative tools and working at different levels of society, the organisation aims to engage in a pragmatic long-term process of conflict transformation. Its toolbox includes:

  • media production – radio, TV, film and print
  • mediation and facilitation
  • training
  • community organizing, sports, drama and music.

We promote both individual and institutional change and are committed to measuring the results of our work. We strive to constantly increase our effectiveness through monitoring and facilitated learning.

Search for Common Ground works with local partners in many countries to find culturally appropriate means of strengthening those societies’ capacity to deal with conflicts constructively. We are currently working in 17 countries: Angola, Belgium, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, D.R. Congo, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Liberia, Macedonia, Morocco, Nigeria, the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), Sierra Leone, Ukraine, and the USA.
