Our scope of action
The global warming, the renewal of energy sources, the preservation of resources and biodiversity are all crucial issues to which the world has to respond. It’s a responsibility that falls not only on governments and companies, but on each and every one of us.
We believe that providing young people access to quality information and accurate information on environmental issues is a prerequisite for stimulating a change in both individual and collective behavior.
For this reason, the Foundation has made raising environmental awareness its field of action, based on the following pillars:
Youth : the future of the planet is in its hands.
Information : easy access to quality information enables people to make informed choices.
Collective : if the community begins with the individual, the “community spirit” has a force of its own that can mobilize both individual action and that of an entire community.
Our principles
We are committed to ethical behavior in decision-making. Our actions are based on the Foundation’s Principles:
LEARNING over Education
Connecting to our own innate curiosity rather than an attachment to an educational system.
PULL over Push
Contributions are made with full willingness and unconditionally (pull) rather than any kind of coercion (push).
COMPASS over Maps
Using non-violence as a guide in humanity’s path to a sustainable solution for our planet.
RISK over Inertia
Being open to trying new things, new technology, new systems and networks and learning from failure.
DISOBEDIENCE over Compliance
Not accepting urban myths, or cultural stereotypes, focusing on what is possible rather than what is unfeasible.
PRACTICE over Theory
Learning by doing.
INTEGRITY over Corruption
Acting in alignment of values and ethics.
RESILIENCE over Strength
Systems that can adapt to new circumstances, rather than remain fixed and risk obsolescence.
SYSTEMS over Objects
Understanding interdependent relationships in which context matters, rather than focusing on objects in isolation.
DIGNITY over Status
Every person is an asset for Earth Focus Foundation and humanity.
