Our attitudes and behaviour help shape the world around us; we must try
to be part of the change we seek by acting as we would have others act.
Head, Heart & Hand
We believe in the importance of the whole person:
Head: knowledge and critical thinking;
Heart: insight and compassion;
Hand: skills for effective action.
Personal, Local & Wider Society We emphasise the importance of linking action at three different levels:
Personal: consciously developing head, heart and hand in all that we do;
Local: developing theory and practice by engaging with others in real issues rooted in the places we live and work;
Wider society: not only bringing global perspectives to our work but also influencing change in the wider society.
Action, Research & Education We aim to contribute actively and effectively to a more sustainable and just world through integrating:
Action: which delivers practical results, including capacity building, consultancy and campaigning;
Research: to discover, develop, evaluate and communicate new understanding and approaches;
Education: to spread our influence by inspiring and supporting people
through courses and training which meets the real needs of individuals
and organisations.
