Groundswell Project

Groundswell is about building empathy in communities. Helping neighbours find out that they are more the same than they are different. They believe that when we understand each other it becomes harder to mock, detest and hate and easier to band together on the things that matter in life for all of us. We succeed when people see each other as people, when communities are strong because of shared humanity despite their differences.
