We work for a democratic and caring world free from oppression and trauma, where autonomous individuals-in-communities can develop and enable everyone to participate fully in social and political life. We do this by amplifying and bringing together the energy of the bearers of the democratic impulse.
We commit ourselves to
democratisation of political and socio-psychological knowledge;
specific support to individuals, organisations and movements to address challenges and unlock their potential as democratic actors;
identifying and addressing fissures at the community and systemic levels through educational, consultative, artistic, public and other interventions.
In the current strategic period, we focus on building and sustaining communities of people and groups committed to social change; reaching more and new people and groups; and organisational sustainability.
