Our Chance to Reconnect (March 2021)

Talk/together is the largest ever survey on what unites us and divides us. Over 150,000 people took part, returning 78,790 surveys, with 68,534 engagements through partner organizations, and 499 in-depth discussions and expert submissions.

The report finds that the pandemic has brought us together, at a country level, and even more so at a local level, with an upsurge in neighbourliness and community spirit. In March 2021, we have a unique opportunity to build on this spirit, and forge a shared sense of national reconnection, based on shared identities, shared norms of behaviour, trust, respect for difference, empathy and kindness.
