who we are
About Us
The Living Together Institute recognizes the inter-dependence, inter-connection, indivisibility and intersectionality of all human rights. We also believe that Human Rights, like Democracy are verbs. They need to be more than words on a page, they are made real by the actions and aspirations of human beings throughout society advocating for human rights as well as promoting, protecting and practicing them in their daily lives.
How we Think
LTI develops people by recognizing their capacity to shape history. We focus on groups as the unit of development, using creative, interactive, and performance-based methods to re-engage individuals, groups, and society, fostering new ways of seeing and being.
Our Values
– Democracy
– Integrity and Trust
– Radical Inclusivity
– Improving the World
– Partnership
Our Story
LTI cultivates the habits and performances of democracy at personal, community, and institutional levels. We believe that human rights are interconnected daily practices, and that true democracy requires nurturing an ongoing Ecology of Democracy, beyond just electoral processes.
Our Focus Areas
Civic Health Index
The Civic Health Index is a tracker for the state of our civic rights. It helps us better understand the different civic health indicators that are measurable.
Human Rights
Human Rights are at the core of our work, and we think of them as a verb. We believe citizens can create tools that enable them to promote human rights.
Leadership Academy
Everyone can be a leader and that non-hierachichal, radical, inclusive, and collaborative leadership best supports an ecology of democracy.
Technology, AI, and Rights
We believe technology is a useful tool in the realization, protection, and promotion of rights. We aim to utilize technology and digital tools that enhance democracy.
