OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our underlying philosophy—to remain neutral in the face of diverse political opinions, ethnic origins, gender and sexual identities and religious persuasions of people—stands in accordance with the values of a democratic and pluralistic society, thus countering the root causes and consequences of the decade-long ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.

OUR AIM

It is our aim to be a „Yaar“ for fellow human beings! We want to provide a space, in which education and culture are experienced, shared and furthered. We want to enable intercultural encounters and thereby the sharing of stories and opinions that make up the fabric of our society
