The project will run until the end of August, external and the responses will be used in a report, due to be published later this year.
It is being led by the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, which describes itself as a non-partisan initiative responding to the “converging crises of social disconnection and division”.
Former Conservative Chancellor Sir Sajid Javid, who co-chairs the Commission, said unless the country could “regain a shared sense of what unites us… we risk being torn apart by our differences. That vision won’t come from politicians – it can only come from the public.”
Former Labour Policy Coordinator Jon Cruddas, who also co-chairs the Commission, said the National Conversation was “at the heart of how we rebuild a shared vision of our country.”
People are being asked in their voice notes to include what they think unites us, divides us, and what might bring us closer together.
The National Conversation is supported by organisations including the NHS, TikTok, the UK Muslim Network, the Church Urban Fund and English Football League in the Community.
