1. Humanity
We recognize the inherent dignity, worth, and interconnectedness of all individuals. Recognizing shared humanity also creates moral responsibility towards others.
2. Respect
We are committed to behaviour that reflects the dignity of every person. Respect does not depend on agreement, but on acknowledging others and understanding their perspectives as part of a shared human experience.
3. Empathy
We try to understand and appreciate the experiences, feelings and concerns of others, making a conscious effort to see the world from their perspective – without judging, while respecting the integrity of ourselves and of the other person.
4. Trust
We have confidence in the process, and we believe in each person’s capacity to make decisions that serve both themselves and their communities. We assume that others act with genuine intentions and in good faith, being aware that trust always comes with a risk.
5. Equality
We affirm that every person is entitled to the same fundamental respect, rights, value and opportunities, regardless of background, identity, or circumstances.
6. Non-violence
We commit to avoiding harm in all forms – physical, verbal, or psychological, while actively seeking justice and peace through peaceful means. We emphasise compassion, restraint, and responsible actions.
7. Dignity
We recognize that every individual has inherent worth and deserves to be treated with respect simply by virtue of being human.
