About ARC
What is ARC?
The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) 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.
Why Now?
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.
Our Mission
The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (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.

How Change Happens
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 Conference
The ARC Conference is our cornerstone event. It gives our global network a place to gather and connect, to hear our speakers, and to take part in shaping our vision for human flourishing. It sets out the ideas and principles that drive the movement, and opens up public discussion of the challenges our societies face and how to solve them.
