What does More in Common do?

More in Common is an international non-profit organisation addressing the question of how we can strengthen social cohesion, trust in democracy, and solidarity with one another. Its aim is to strengthen society at its core and prevent the emergence of an »us versus them« discourse. More in Common is currently operating in Germany, France, the UK, Poland, Spain, the US and Brazil. The organisation's name – More in Common – reflects its vision: »We want to contribute to a resilient and inclusive society where people recognise that they have more in common than divides them.«

Why are we awarding a grant to More in Common?

We are convinced that new approaches are needed to respond to the challenges of populism and social fragmentation.  More in Common works according to principles of evidence-based political opinion research, and, together with partners, develops narratives, strategies and tools for civil society activities.

What is our mutual goal?

More in Common published the study »Die andere deutsche Teilung - Zustand und Zukunftsfähigkeit der deutschen Gesellschaft«  ("The Other German Division - State and Sustainability of German Society") in 2019, for which more than 4,000 people throughout Germany were interviewed. Together, we want to transform the insights gained into tools for social practice, so that as many organizations as possible can benefit from them for their own work.
