The campaign for Global Civility invites every citizen of the world to recognise that being civil to one other should be the bedrock of all societies. We encourage every citizen to engage with others whilst being conscientious and aware of our tone, our demeanour, and our attitude, no matter how polarised our opinions are. We must see in others what we wish others to see in us – simply put, that w
e are part of the same human family and that we each deserve respect and a civil response because of this simple fact. In this spirit, we are excited to ask you to join your fellow human beings and sign up to the Global Civility Declaration and the Principles of Global Civility. If you are a community-based organisation, charity or authority, such as the police, fire, ambulance, hospital or other emergency service. Or maybe you are a place of education, a governing body, or sporting association. Or perhaps you are a public official, a businessperson, a celebrity or influencer, an artist, a professional. Or you may be a member of the armed forces, please help us to promote the principles of Global Civility and reach out to your network and invite them to sign up today. The campaign for Global Civility seeks to channel what can be a powder-keg of anger and frustration into a constructive dialogue emphasising the need for social cohesion and respect for the beliefs and views of others. By so doing, the Campaign articulates the need for self-restraint and responsibility as a basis for disagreeing agreeably as the cornerstone for civil interaction and behaviour. The Campaign is now a global initiative, inviting humanity in all its diversity and colour, to be part of a significant movement for change. As it gathers pace, it is finding support in all corners of the world, among local, national and international leaders, as well as among those who defend the right of others to speak freely whilst reminding all to act with civility when doing so.
