Training opportunities cannot be neutral processes, therefore, all participants whatever their particular nature may be, should be involved in a joint process of exploring issues of common interest and constructing knowledge in the light of the above mentioned framework.It follows that the individual’s stances, attitudes, understanding and mental power are highly valued and directed towards further growth and development through learning by practical operation or doing, creative self-expression and practically-oriented activities towards the needs of a rapidly changing society. Our philosophy, therefore, is one that leads to an emphasis on the process of self-direction and autonomy.The program’s overall aim is value-based, in that, it seeks to develop the human values of democracy and cooperation in a multi-lingual and multi-cultural society, provide opportunities for self-growth and awareness in the understanding of others, develop sensitivity to human feelings and emotions, and finally, engage participants in active involvement in decision making processes related to the specific activities that our organization offers media, culture and special education activities.
