Common Ground for Common Good

Before we can find common ground, we must ask: are we on equal ground?

Through a story of a historical radical and his memorialization in monuments, we unpack the idea of neutrality to begin to situate our own views as part of the wide political spectrum of our time. In so doing, we help folks feel better equipped to navigate the deeply held and very different beliefs of friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers alike.

A shareable toolkit for engaging in challenging conversations is available as a supplement to this experience, giving participants what they need to engage with wildly divergent political viewpoints—and to share space, search for, and build common ground together.

This experience is made possible with support from, and in partnership with, Connecticut Public.
