Our mission and values

 

MISSION

  • We help immigrants integrate into Czech society offering them social services, educational and other activities.
  • We contribute to a social environment that is more accessible and just to immigrants, one that better supports their social participation and integration.

 

CORE VALUES

  • equality
  • responsibility
  • individual approach
  • freedom of choice

 

SOCIETY VISION

  • Our society uses rules and mechanisms that make the integration of newcomers possible without creating the need for an excessive support and protection.
  • We see newcomers as individuals, not as members of different ethnic, racial, religious, or otherwise defined social groups.

 

PRINCIPLES

  • We encourage the social engagement of immigrants, help them understand the language, local customs, and the society’s functioning as a system.
  • We do not try to build networks of immigrants, but networks that connect newcomers and “old residents.”
  • We support newcomers in creating business and social connections (interest-based communities, friends) that prevent stigmatization, segregation, and exclusion from the mainstream society.
  • We support the social integration of newcomers so that our society is stable and open.
