Our values

OUR VALUES
1. Reduction of social exclusion

The smallest possible percentage of citizens excluded from social processes on one or several bases, due to disability, social status, nationality or sexual orientation. Advocating for and spreading the idea of tolerance and increasing general social inclusion. Striving towards social progress.

2. Human rights for all

The differences that individuals acquire or are born with must not be a reason for the laws and standards in human rights to apply differently to them in comparison to other citizens in society. Fight against prejudice because differences mean additional quality and value!

3. Stop marginalisation!

Working towards making the need for use of the term „marginalised individuals and groups“ gradually fall out of use and towards prejudice leaving gradually the minds of individuals and specific social groups!

4. Transparency and accountability

Adherence to legal procedures, ensuring a quality system in day-to-day functioning and activities and principles of good business in the process of awarding grants, monitoring and reporting – through own example and expecting the same from our partners.

5. Stronger NGO sector

Promoting the values of civil society with active and functioning NGOs dedicated to their citizens. Making civil society organisations more efficient in representing, protecting and meeting the interests of the population they represent through enhancing their capacities and work methodology and systematic changes in financing and role of non-governmental organisations.

6. Promoting a society of equal opportunities

Advocating for and promoting a society and systems of social support that not only provide the bare minimum for the functioning of marginalised citizens (e.g. in the medical sense), but also enable them to become equally included into all social processes, with an emphasis on their remaining possibilities and capacities to function from starting positions which are favourable and adapted to the specificities of such citizens.

7. Partnership of all

A civil sector recognized as a partner to the public and private sector in the decision-making process, implementation and monitoring of those decisions, and civil society organisations that have earned the full trust of citizens.
