OUR WORK

​

It happens that a chill descends on the relations between peoples. Often the reason is our struggle to understand the reality of other nations and cultures and our failure to accept differences. Faced with ideologies that distort and divide, at SNEIGE we believe in the power of interpersonal communication to break down barriers and bring together peoples who are estranged from one another.

 

Coming from different countries and cultures, we are journalists, communication specialists, philosophers, political thinkers and historians who work in public affairs. We draw on our extensive international backgrounds to help build a common life less in thrall to ideology and where the focus on the human dimension adds some warmth to international relations.

 

Open to all parts of the world, SNEIGE is particularly interested in East-West relations and it deploys direct approaches that touch the core of public opinion.  Our actions are often discreet and aimed at decision-makers, intellectuals and other opinion leaders of all outlooks, as well as young people. The aim is to build bridges and ties between people in order to overcome our paralysed politics. We promote a realist view on the common interests of different countries. With this in mind the world of business is our closest ally. Our other key pillar is the world of culture and the arts.

 

By creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere to encourage fresh ideas, we provide new forums to facilitate difficult conversations. Whether it is debates between opposed visions, encounters among eminent personalities or individual meetings, we provide a bespoke offer of exchanges that are conducive to intellectual openness and an expression of our humanity that we share beyond class, colour and creed. SNEIGE aims to be a source for warmer relations between estranged peoples.
