Stichting Depolarisatie · Dutch Public Benefit Organisation (ANBI)
Our differences do not have to divide us.
Stichting Depolarisatie makes projects by scientists, writers and journalists possible that help bridge divides in society. Through research, stories and encounters, they create space for mutual understanding and dialogue.
What does the foundation do?
We make projects by scientists, writers and journalists possible that use knowledge, stories and encounters to help bridge divides in society.
How do we do this?
We assess plans with a well-founded budget against an adopted framework, and contribute to strong journalistic, academic, educational and cultural initiatives.
Why?
Deep divides can make living together harder. Initiatives that bring people together offer starting points for understanding and conversation.

Seven true stories of compassion and connection
The foundation supports this project by Maurits Chabot financially; he carries it out himself. The aim is to share the stories and gather new experiences of bridging divides, not simply to promote the book.
Financial support for the launch in the United Kingdom and the United States, and for approximately three months of talks, encounters and journalism in the US.
