Global connections
Connections that
unite and divide
People belong to several communities at once. Shared interests, values and obligations can reinforce one another or come into tension.
Each person has
more than one connection
Family, profession, city, culture, beliefs and shared experience form different foundations for solidarity.
The concept explores when these foundations enable joint action and when competition between them makes conversation harder.
What to explore
Foundations of belonging
What connects the participants: a shared experience, purpose, space or mutual obligations?
Intersections
Which ties connect different groups? Which events strengthen or weaken these bridges?
Joint action
How can we build cooperation while preserving differences and room to discuss disagreements?
The concept in social practice
School of Solidarity
Learning, discussion and shared work on public questions.
Haifa Format
The city as a space for encounters and public dialogue.
Human development
People's opportunities and the conditions for participation.
A map of solidarities is a research hypothesis. Conclusions about particular groups require evidence and the participation of those people in discussion.

We will begin with a specific public situation and the questions of those involved.
