Our mission is what keep us grounded and focused on our work.
In a world with so much complexity, division and diffused attention, our collective is created as an open space to not only discuss and learn today’s most important theories and ideas to understand social issues around us but also a space of practice and development. We believe that, to create the conditions for a more hopeful future, theory needs to follow practice and vice-versa.
Our mission, therefore, is to create the conditions to empower individuals in taking action on important and challenging social issues in today’s world.
We envision a world in which individuals are critical, continuous learners and actively committed to a collective, fair and united future. In order to act, we need to understand the history, understand the tools we can use in our favour and sustain our individual practice with collective action.
To create a world with trust and collaboration, there needs to be to be fearless about who we are and what we propose in our activities and behaviours. Sub-values in this category are: transparency and integrity.
This is a foundational principle - we cannot do anything by ourselves alone. Especially when it comes to dealing with messy, complex and challenging scenarios in today’s world. Sub-values in this category are: collaborative leadership, community engagement & development.
There is no evolution without constant learning, hearing from different perspectives and accepting the inevitability of growth. Sub-values in this category are: social impact & responsibility.
Adaptation requires flexibility and resilience. When confronted with challenges and hurdles, we won’t simply give up because it is difficult - we will persevere and find the best way forward. Sub-values in this category are: empowerment & adaptability
