About

Rehumanisation and the Rehumanisation Society.

We live in an increasingly polarised world with social media accelerating the divide, disinformation is on the rise and simple narratives are offered in place of real solutions to complex problems, often by vested interests who seek to exploit disquiet.

As extreme ends of a growing divide seek to dehumanise their opponents and the ability to connect on common ground becomes increasingly fraught, with echo-chambers further entrenching opposing views, it is time to start a process of rehumanisation - this is the act of recognising the worth of all individuals as humans and having the empathy to develop understanding, build trust and earn respect.

​

The Rehumanisation Society recognises that by listening to others' views, we can understand differing perspectives, learn new things and change or reinforce our own thinking.

We encourage people to think more openly about complex issues and to use empathy to think and talk about how they might address the problems faced.
