| Purpose of the organization: |
Generate a culture of dialogue, volunteering, corporate social responsibility and generosity that may ultimately privilege human dignity, democracy and sustainable human growth in a society that relegates profound thinking, virtue and commitment. We strongly believe in youth as a propelling force of change. We are firmly convinced that a culture of dialogue, debate and profound thought enhances lifelong civic participation. A ten-year old experience demonstrates that encouraging young minds to reflect on their reality turns good citizenship into a habit and civic engagement into a lifestyle. |
