Stronger Together

Where international cooperation meets everyday life.

Who we are

Around the world, people face shared challenges that no one country can solve alone.
Yet the systems designed to enable cooperation are increasingly misunderstood or mistrusted.

Stronger Together connects evidence and communities, making visible how international cooperation quietly improves lives every day.

At a moment when fear and division are being amplified, we offer something different: a practical, grounded case for cooperation that respects national realities while recognising our shared future.

Together, we can dare to rebuild trust and shape a more stable, peaceful world.

Our approach

Network building & regional dialogues

We convene aligned actors across International Geneva and six global regions to build shared strategy, trust, and collaboration

Building the evidence base

We gather, analyse and translate concrete evidence showing how international cooperation and law:

  • Reduce risk

  • Prevent harm

  • Protect civilians

  • Enable trade and economic stability

  • Keep everyday systems functioning

  • Respect state sovereignty and cultural diversity

Public engagement

Anchored in Geneva and co-created locally, we develop an internationally coherent, regionally and locally grounded campaign demonstrating why cooperation works and matters, without sacrificing national decision-making.

Evidence-based advocacy

We convert evidence and public insight into accessible materials for policymakers, funders, and institutional leaders.

What makes this initiative different

  • Grounded in evidence, not messaging alone

  • Co-created with regional and local partners

  • Supported by data visualisation, behavioural insights, and ethical technology actors

  • Designed as long-term infrastructure, not a one-off campaign

  • Focused on rebuilding legitimacy through transparency and measurable public value

Stronger Together connects

  • International organisations and UN system actors

  • Civil society networks and NGOs

  • Academic and policy research institutions

  • Cities, educators, cultural and sports institutions, and faith-based networks

  • Ethical technology and philanthropic actors

  • Existing campaigns and initiatives working on cooperation, democracy, climate, and global public goods

The aim is coherence, not duplication - building connective tissue across existing efforts and building on them.

Anchored in International Geneva

International Geneva brings together the institutions, expertise, history and global networks that underpin international cooperation - from humanitarian law and migration governance to health, development, and human rights.

Previous initiatives, including Geneva’s Perception Change Project and SDG-related labs, demonstrated the value of greater visibility and coordination. Stronger Together builds on this foundation, shifting from fragmented communication to sustained, coordinated, evidence-based engagement that is outward facing to the world and at scale.

This is not about promoting “global government.” It is about demonstrating how voluntary cooperation between sovereign states strengthens stability, prosperity, and democratic accountability for all.

Why this matters now

International cooperation is facing its most serious legitimacy crisis in decades.

Across regions, trust in multilateral institutions is declining. Fear-based and disinformation-driven narratives portray cooperation as weakness and collective action as loss of control, even as shared challenges such as climate change, migration, conflict, pandemics, and inequality intensify beyond the capacity of any one country to address alone.

Support is increasingly conditional. Global surveys show growing scepticism about whether cooperation serves national or personal interests, while coordinated disinformation campaigns shape debates on migration, aid, sovereignty, and international governance, influencing elections and funding decisions.

Without sustained, evidence-based public engagement that makes cooperation relevant to everyday life, erosion will continue.

This trajectory is not inevitable - but reversing it requires coordination, credibility, and scale.
