1. Africa's Search for Common Ground
Chaos, crisis and despair are themes of the news coming out of Africa. Africans, if they make the news at all, are usually portrayed as victims, despots, or the colourful curators of big game. Africa: Search for Common Ground offers an alternative. [more]

2. Gimme6
Deep in the heart of London, there's a musty old theatre. Run down, infested, and maybe haunted. Inside, six kids uncover some old magic and discover the power of teamwork. But first they must learn to trust each other and find out who's trying to stop them. It's a story of international intrigue, personal pride, and community spirit. [more]

3. Nashe Maalo – Our Neighbourhood
Nashe Maalo was the first children's television program in Macedonia created to promote intercultural understanding, to encourage conflict prevention in a multicultural society, and to impart specific conflict resolution skills that children can use in their everyday lives. [more]

4. What's the Common Ground? SFCG Mediated Dicussions

SFCG Peace Songs are available for purchase individually. [more]

The core idea is to examine, in an even-handed way, the aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians and to show that agreements are possible that do not threaten the national existence of either party.
