About this Positive Pursuit

For everyone to have the opportunity to pursue higher needs, people must be able to form, participate in and rely on social groups. Such social cohesion is crucial to building trust and respect among individuals, communities and institutions.

Barriers to social cohesion exist at many levels, in and between groups. These barriers can be seen across social divides, economic divides and physical barriers but social cohesion is strengthened when these divides are reduced or overcome.

This Positive Pursuit encompasses any action which achieves such an outcome.
