Kif Kif wants to facilitate an intercultural diversity of voices, to improve the active participation of all citizens in our society, to deconstruct negative and stereotypical discourse and to stimulate critical reflection. For realising these goals, Kif Kif starts from a clear vision: democratic, pluralistic, antiracist and progressive.

Wide-ranging mission:
The mission of the King Baudouin Foundation is clear and at the same time wide-ranging: to help to improve living conditions for the population. In its 1976 Constitution the Foundation is described as "an independent structure that encourages original ideas and sets up new projects."
The King Baudouin Foundation supports projects and citizens who are committed to create a better society. In this way we can make a lasting contribution towards greater justice, democracy and respect for diversity.
Independent and pluralistic mission:
The Foundation works on an independent and pluralistic basis. This is also guaranteed by the diverse backgrounds of our Board of Governors and our 60 staff. We respect diversity and strive towards quality, transparency and integrity.
The Foundation focuses on specific themes and is based in Brussels, but also supports projects far beyond the borders of Belgium and Europe. By working together with a range of different organisations we aim to harmonise our own mission as effectively as possible with the efforts made by others.

KVS transformed in 2001 from a traditional repertory company for the Flemish minority of Brussels into an 'urban platform'. In the culturally fragmented city of Brussels, where people don't share a common past (culture, language), KVS wants to create a place of identification for all. Not by creating a 'universal' cultural institution, but by focusing on a very specific content for each production/action, and targeting a specific audience. We see the program as a broad range of activities that should give every inhabitant of Brussels once a year a good reason to come to KVS.

The CCOK organizes trainings and animations whose the goals overlap with the aim of interactions with people, of effectiveness, and dialogue’s recognition. In accordance with that mind, it promotes several notions such as interculturality, the space between the two and non violent educational methods. The principles which structure the Centre’s whole activity are humanism, open-mindedness, pluralism, consciousness’ freedom, and democracy.
