By leveraging our global network of leaders, activists and other seasoned practitioners, we’ve catalyzed the field of transitional justice, facilitated the establishment of the truth and reconciliation commission in post-apartheid South Africa, and charted a course towards peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland, Central America, Cuba and other divided societies. Our powerful methodology of shared experience is grounded in two core principles: that people can learn from each other and that people can change.

Building on this body of experience, we have partnered with cognitive and behavioral scientists to generate insights at the intersection of behavioral sciences and real world experience. Our goal is to apply brain science to design and promote new tools that reduce conflict, increase tolerance, and facilitate positive social change in the United States and abroad.
