our Mission

our work

Agoras

We design and run collaborative processes that foster deep engagement among participants and create safe spaces (the agoras) for debate and deliberation that help build trust, hope, and a sense of direction among diverse communities.

Schools of Thought

Our tailored training programmes in leadership, ethics, co-production and systems thinking help participants develop a deeper understanding of their roles as change-makers, apply ethical reasoning to decision-making, co-design and co-produce policies and services, and use systems thinking tools for problem solving

Deep Dives

Our research and consultancy activities provide the thought leadership that responds to the urgent needs of decision makers on issues of societal importance.

“The facilitators’ use of visual materials and the workshop’s structure around teamwork helped me better understand the bigger picture”

Quote of the week

“The key thing about all the world’s big problems is that they have to be dealt with collectively. If we don’t get collectively smarter, we’re doomed.”
