Mission
To promote education, dialogue and solidarity in order to reduce ignorance, poverty and disunity, with special attention to migrants, refugees and people in vulnerable situations.
About us
Islas de Paz is a non-profit association constituted under Organic Law 1/2002, regulating the Right of Association. Our seat is in Errenteria (Gipuzkoa) and our scope of action is the entire Spanish territory.
A conviction unites us: many individual, family and social problems originate in the lack of education, in poverty and in the lack of understanding between people and communities. That is why we want to work on these three fronts at the same time.
Vision
A society in which all people, whatever their origin, culture or belief, have opportunities to develop and live together in peace, with each other and with the environment.
Values
-
Dialogue. Communication and mutual knowledge prevent prejudice and conflict.
-
Respect for diversity. Living together does not mean assimilating: we respect every culture, religion and way of thinking.
-
Education. Access to knowledge is the basis of personal and collective development.
-
Solidarity. We want to support those going through the greatest difficulties.
-
Rights and freedoms. We want to contribute to a democratic society that protects the rights of all people.
-
Care for the environment. Living together in harmony also includes living together with nature.
