Spin’s statutes and rules (pt):
Spin Association’s action is guided by the following values and principles:
Interculturality
Spin aims at promoting knowledge between different cultures and value the identity of each one of them as a way to stimulate cooperation.
Participation
We believe in an active citizenship that reflects itself in the strengthening of the role of individuals and civil society organisations in fighting injustice, intolerance and inequalities.
Empowerment
We believe in strengthening, not only the knowledge and the technical qualifications of people, but above all their personal and social competencies, as a catalyst for change.
Social Inclusion
We seek to contribute to the access of all, especially those that are in a situation of social exclusion, to the conditions that allow their integration into society as full citizens.
Independence
Spin Association defines itself as an autonomous and independent organisation, be it on a political, religious or economical level.
