Our Global Work

SCI works to support a global community of activists and funders to strengthen their skills, insights, and capacity for progressive changemaking.

Our efforts focus on:

• Protecting and advancing human rights & equality
• Peacebuilding
• Fostering a more values-based narrative about migration
• Addressing the challenges of rising authoritarianism, polarisation, disinformation, and prejudice.

We do this by:

• Strengthening activist and donor leadership skills through fellowship awards, mentoring, and other bespoke learning opportunities.
• Growing and animating a diverse network of effective changemakers focused on learning, solidarity, and mutual support.
• Brokering resources and connections for and between changemakers and donors.
• Convening activists and donors to reflect, learn, strategise, and collaborate on common problems.   
• Sharing lessons from Northern Ireland peacebuilding with other conflict situations and philanthropy.
• Producing and disseminating accessible tools, resources and research that help to secure a fairer and more inclusive society.
• Offering strategic advice and consultancy support to donors and changemakers.
