Our vision is a world of peace; social justice and sustainable development, where all people live together with mutual respect and without recourse to any form of violence to solve conflict. Our mission is to promote a culture of peace.
Our values:
•Volunteering: in the sense of acting out of self-initiative, only for the benefit of civil society, for social change, whilst never competing with paid labour nor seeking to contribute to strike-breaking
•Non-Violence: as a principle and a method
•Human Rights: respect for individuals as stated in the Universal Declaration of H.R.
•Solidarity: for a more just world and between human beings
•Respect for the Environment: and the ecosystem of which we are a part and on which we are dependent
•Inclusion: to be open and inclusive to all individuals who share our aims and objectives

As member of an international network we have the opportunity to participate in many different thematic international trainings, seminars and meetings.
