More in Common is a new international initiative, set up in 2017 to build communities and societies that are stronger, more united and more resilient to the increasing threats of polarisation and social division. We have national teams in the US, Germany, UK, France, Poland and Spain.
We believe that social fracturing is one of the most pressing issues of our time. And that new approaches are needed if we are to build communities that have more in common than that which divides them.
Over the next two years, in partnership with others, we will conduct research and pilot different approaches to learn what works. So that we are ready to scale and make a real difference in the countries in which we work from 2020.
We are building the founding team to make this happen. Although we are only at the beginning of our journey as an organization, we know one thing for certain: our team will be our greatest asset.
We are looking for people who are
• Strategic, rigorous, restless, energetic and creative
• Comfortable and excited to dwell on the edge but not on the margins
• Excited to do work that is non-partisan
• Able to think ahead
• Able to get big stuff done
• Excited to work with heart as well as head
• Want to be part of turning despair into hope
While we are only getting started, we have already set up national hubs in the UK, US, France and Germany and have published early findings from our first stages of work.
