COOPERATION
Every problem seems smaller when you have the support of others. Together we can achieve broad impact, share knowledge and responsibility. Inclusive, local and collaboratively created initiatives allow us to act quickly in the face of a challenge.
SELF-AGENCY
Supporting others is not only about direct assistance, but also about empowerment to discover one's own strength. We want to build the belief that each person can influence their environment. We need everyone's involvement to solve the complex challenges of modern times.
WELL-BEING
By working together with others, we can relax and take care of ourselves, knowing that no one will be left without support. Enthusiasm and creativity are the sparks that begin the positive change - we make sure they don't burn out.
SUSTAINABILITY
With lasting relationships and a network of support, it is easier to maintain a positive impact and act strategically. When the community is sharing tools, resources and knowledge, there is a sense of security.
