“We Are White Plains” – The Traveling Experience
Common Circles is currently bringing a traveling educational museum experience called “We Are White Plains: Bridging, Belonging, and Building Community” to the White Plains Public Schools in Westchester County New York.


Dr. Joseph Ricca, Superintendent of the White Plains School District, said, “More than ever, we need to support each other and protect our communities from the insidious toxicity of bigotry and hatred. As community members, we have the power to break down barriers of division and replace them with bridges to understanding and mutual respect. Our partnership with Common Circles has allowed our children and our community the opportunity to elevate their voices and shared commitment to each other. “We Are White Plains” embodies our commitment to each and every member of our city while celebrating and honoring the unique and beautiful qualities of every member of our vibrant learning community.”
Common Circles Partners with USC Shoah Foundation
One of the exhibits in the “We Are White Plains” experience includes two interactive biographies from USC Shoah Foundation's Dimensions in Testimony. They highlight Holocaust survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and liberator Alan Moskin.
“We Are White Plains” launched in March 2023. This experience can be customized for other school districts, municipalities, and organizations. Email info@commoncircles.org for more information.



The Common Circles Interactive Art Experience
Common Circles has developed plans for a community art experience specifically designed for corporations and educational communities (middle school, high school, and college students, faculty, administrators and staff).
Using cutting-edge technology and proven techniques for reducing bias, the Common Circles Interactive Art Experience will engage participants through emotional and educational videos and interactive photo-capturing devices that encourage identity exploration. The experience will culminate with a large cycling video wall that provides unexpected insights to challenge preconceptions. The purpose of this experience is to inspire greater cohesion and harmony and to help participants consider one another’s personalities and perspectives in more layered and nuanced ways.
Watch this video to see how our interactive experience was customized for the Tri-Faith Center in Omaha, NB.

Step into the shoes of others
The Common Threads Game
Common Threads is an innovative multi-player character card game linking Malcolm x and P!nk in less than 5 minutes.
Developed by high school students, the Common Threads card game highlights the richness of both personal and social identities and seeks to find connection and commonalities across lines of difference. The character cards address the many layers of identity among various historical figures, artists, celebrities, politicians, scientists, athletes and musicians.
The game uses several proven methods from psychology including "finding commonality," a technique that tasks players to explore commonalities among the varied 100-character card deck. This highlights that our identities are multi-layered and made up of diverse factors and allows us to focus on what we have in common. Experts agree that this identity work is a crucial starting point in the difficult but vital education necessary to ensure inclusive, anti-racist schools, workplaces and organizations. Common Threads will be integrated into curriculum in classrooms and other organizations across the country. The game will be offered to students and teachers for free.
