About us

​

Institute Circle is a non-profit, non-governmental, international organisation working in the fields of human rights, humanitarian work, social equality, gender equality, development cooperation, youth work, environmental protection, sustainable development and other forms of inequality and social exclusion.

​

We pay particular attention to vulnerable groups in need of support due to social, economic or other challenges and is committed to environmental protection as a key part of our mission. The projects we carry out with partners, governmental and non-governmental organisations, volunteers and experts are based on the principle of social responsibility and sustainable development of society in the environment in which we operate, while at the same time co-creating it.

​

We strive to gain and maintain the trust of all those who approach us. Our work gives meaning and purpose to our mission. Through our work, we contribute a little to the society and community in which we live. We find optimism and a positive attitude towards the world in good deeds and good people. Our core values are moral and ethical values such as integrity, responsibility, a positive attitude and a people-orientation, with a focus on sustainability and responsible behaviour.
