About ARC
The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship is an international movement with a vision for a better world where empowered citizens take responsibility and work together to bring flourishing and prosperity to their families, communities, and nations.
The Problem Statement
We are at a defining moment in our societies. Growth, at least in the West, has stagnated and there is a growing scepticism and anxiety about the sustainability of human development.
The shared stories and values which once provided unity are contested, culture is more polarised and fragmented than ever, and there is a sense of fragility and crisis which pervades everything from the basics of individual identity to the heart of our democratic structures.
ARC’s Mission
ARC is drawing together a unique alliance from around the world, covering politics, business, technology, culture, law, academia, the arts and more.
We reject the inevitability of decline and instead are seeking solutions which draw on humanity's highest virtues and extraordinary capacity for innovation and ingenuity. By drawing on our moral, cultural, economic, and spiritual foundations, we hope to develop a more hope-filled vision for the future and re-lay the foundations of our civilisation.
The narrative that surrounds us is one of fragmentation and decline.
We believe there is a better story waiting to be told.
The Path to Impact
Our model of change is relational rather than transactional. Change comes through dense networks, and society needs leaders of character with a transformational mindset who will bring renewal to all spheres, at every level. We believe that connecting, gathering, and equipping an international movement is the key to re-laying the foundations of our civilisation.
The ARC Conference
The ARC Conference is our cornerstone event that provides a space for our global network to gather and connect, be inspired by our world-renowned speakers, and participate in formulating our vision for human flourishing. It presents the grounding ideas and principles that drive our movement, and aims to foster dialogue and discussion in the public square on the key challenges we face as a society and how to solve them.
