An organised group of people who have common interest
|
I am working on a project that involves bringing people together who share common goals or dreams. Is there a word or phrase to describe groups of people who are working together to accomplish these common aspirations? People have suggested terms like "Dreamers", or "Goal-setters", but I am preferably looking for something a little more catchy. Show Or are there any words/phrases that describe a person who accomplishes their goals. Perhaps then, I can then just pluralize that term.

Sometimes these are charities e.g Alzheimers Trust, Cancer Research UK, NSPCC (National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children), Save the Children, Oxfam etc. But included in 'interest groups' are people who campaign on behalf of people who may consider they have suffered a common injustice, such as 'The Liverpool 96', or with a common aim in view e.g. for gay marriage, or against excessive press intrusion of people's private lives etc. A more informal phrase for 'interest group' is 'pressure group'. answered Mar 22, 2014 at 22:08

In France, people using or developing Free, use term "Freenauts" like "astronauts". There is some connotation of union in some form, I guess. There was an idea of "venture" in a book I read long ago, but it implies pursuing the idea (purpose), gambling even, not achieving it ("nothing ventured, nothing gained") answered Mar 22, 2014 at 22:22
1 What about taskforce? That implies a group with a common goal. Also club and organization (or organisation if you happen to be British) will work. answered Mar 22, 2014 at 22:25
