The People for Change Foundation is a human rights think tank based in San Gwann, Malta. It consists of two directors and one employed staff member. Furthermore, the work of the Foundation is supported by Research and Projects Assistants as well as external experts and consultants. The Foundation is funded through project funds, for instance, provided by the Maltese government or the European Union. At the moment, the Foundation is the national coordinator of the European Website on Integration (EWSI) and carries out two EU-funded projects. Throughout the previous years, the Foundation has collaborated with local, regional, national, and European stakeholders, such as the Council of Europe and the Fundamental Rights Agency.
Our mission is to undertake research, advocacy, and proactive action to promote social cohesion, respect for human rights, and empowerment. Our vision is of a just, fair, and inclusive society all members of which may reach their full potential unhindered by factors such as age, race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status.
The People for Change Foundation works in the areas of human rights, migration, and integration. Within this, our work focuses on research and training. At the moment, we carry out two EU-funded projects, namely PRESERVERE and DIOGENES. At the same time, we are the national coordinator for the European Website on Integration (EWSI).
We have long experience in training and research on human rights matters. Moreover, we engage with local, regional, national, and European stakeholders. We have an overview of the human rights situations in both Malta and the EU.
We would like to join the network to connect with civil society organisations across the member states of the network and build up sustainable cooperation. Moreover, our position in Malta may be valuable to the network as it is "between" the two shores of the Mediterranean Sea. We would be happy to work together on projects, research, and training regarding the topics of human rights.
