Active citizenship as practice
Engaged individuals contribute to positive social change in their communities because they have experienced their self-efficacy. We view all actors involved in our activities as free-thinking individuals, members of their community, and citizens of their country. Thus, enhancing individuals’ skills and capacities to become active citizens ultimately empowers communities and broader society.
Trust
Trust is the key to our work with individuals, partners, teams, and wider networks. With more than 20 years of experience in fostering active citizenship across many countries in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, we have reaffirmed that trust is essential for collaboration, creative thinking and productivity. Trusting mutual values, beliefs, and a common purpose towards sparking social change is the foundation of all our relationships.
Locally driven approach
We have deep respect and appreciation of the local realities in which we work at all times. We apply a context-sensitive approach to foster active citizenship, which entails locally-led and meaningful capacity development, as well as a space in which people can become active in their own context.
