Our vision is of a society in which children represent their own
interests. Because they can.
Mission Statements
-
We
help children to be strong and equal members of society so that
they are able to help shape that society with their creativity
and competence.
-
As
initiator and promoter, we are committed to the implementation
of children’s rights as set out in the UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child.
-
We
are the forum for every multiplier, expert, practitioner and
decision maker who is actively involved in childrens' environments.
-
We
are a strong community of members, partners and donors, which
we continually seek to strengthen.
-
We pursue our goals as a charitable, independent
and non-government organisation.
Corporate Identity
-
The "competent child" is the
focus of our activities. We are convinced that children are
independent personalities with a multitude of abilities.
-
We strongly believe that the participation
of children is the key to a democractic society.
-
A fundamental principle of our ethos is
respect for the personality, dignity and the rights of all human
beings. We act to ensure that every child in particular experiences
this.
-
We actively advocate the protection of
children's rights and are outspoken at their violation and at
infringements of childrens' interests.
-
We are open towards the wishes and needs
of other people. It is with the best information possible that
we respond to inquiries from children and adults alike. We welcome
constructive and supportive criticism as a means to further
developing our work.
-
We are both competent and professional
in our specialised field. We work creatively and innovatively
on creating solutions to problems that children face today and
in the future.
-
We cooperate with government and non-government
organisations. Within the scope of our resources, we offer a
platform for committed individuals who campaign for a child-friendlier
society.
-
These principles also serve as the basis
for our dialogue with our members, donors and private sector
partners who make our work possible.
-
We are conscious of our responsibility
of ensuring the sustainability of limited natural resources
and our environment. Because: The future belongs to children.
It's
all about the children!
