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. Our mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict: away from adversarial approaches, towards cooperative solutions. We have developed a wide array of operational methods, which we collectively call our 'toolbox'. These include well-known conflict resolution techniques, such as mediation and facilitation, and less traditional ones, such as TV productions, radio soap operas, and community organizing. We have found that employing several tools at the same time increases their overall effectiveness.
