Search for Common Ground

Founded in 1982, Search for Common Ground works to transform the way the world deals with conflict--away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative problem solving. We 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.

To transform the way the world deals with conflict: away from adversarial approaches, toward cooperative solutions.

Search for Common Ground currently has seventeen field programs on four different continents. Our two headquarters offices in Brussels and Washington DC provide logistical, fund-raising and policy work support to the field while our divisions dispense technical expertise. Our global projects and initiatives deal with cross-border issues such as Western-Islamic relations.
