Mission & Goals
CPS is a civil society organisation that protects human rights and aspires for social change based on the values of democracy, anti-fascism, non-violence, peacebuilding, solidarity and equality, using activism, education, research, advocacy and direct support. We work with communities, initiatives, organisations, media, institutions and individuals in Croatia and internationally. CPS’ vision is a solidary, open and non-violent society whose institutions enable peace, social security, political and economic equality and the freedom of all people. Taking into account the balance between our own existence and the environment, members of the society actively participate in decision-making, management of public goods and the development of their communities. CPS operates through four compatible programs: Affirmation of Economic and Social Rights, Supporting an inclusive society, Educating and empowering for social change and Protecting and Promoting the Right to Asylum and Migration
