The mission of More in Common is to strengthen social cohesion and contribute to a united, inclusive, and resilient society. The goal is to create a society that is capable of responding united and resilient to social changes while maintaining its constructive ability to debate.

More in Common combines social psychological research with practical work to promote social cohesion. This includes:

• Public Debates and Workshops: The organization contributes its research findings to public debate through contributions and through lectures and workshops in society[2].

More in Common actively advocates for strengthening social cohesion and liberal democracy. This includes:

• Promotion of Encounter and Integration: The organization promotes meeting places and formats to strengthen understanding of other values and beliefs and to provide people with a sense of social relevance[4][5].
• Support for Civil Society Efforts: More in Common supports the efforts of civil society and key decision-makers who share the values of open and inclusive societies and help in the emergence of new initiatives to advance these values[3].
• Cross-Border Collaboration: The organization works in several countries and learns from each other across borders to identify dangers and opportunities for cohesion at an early stage[2].

More in Common is supported by various foundations and organizations, including the Human Dignity Foundation and the Mercator Foundation. This support enables the organization to conduct comprehensive research projects and practical initiatives[3][5].
