Europe values cultural diversity and considers it an enriching element of society. Connecting cultures in the European context is therefore based on the effort to create an inclusive and respectful community that values diversity and seeks ways to share and enrich each other through cultural exchange. An important point for our center is international cooperation between civil and non-profit organizations, activists and citizens across different regions of the world.
Connecting the interests of different nations is very important for the Multicultural Center Brusinka. We take into account that the European values of connecting cultures are based on fundamental principles that emphasize respect for human rights, cultural diversity and democracy. We place great emphasis on respect for human rights, including the right to freedom of expression, religious freedom, equality, support and protection of minorities.
The Multicultural Center in Brno is a member of the CIVICUS global alliance. It is a non-governmental organization that focuses on strengthening civil society and promoting the rights of citizens around the world.
In addition, we are a member of the Czech Network to Protect Democracy, which defends constitutionality and human rights against threats of all kinds. From our point of view, democracy plays a key role in connecting cultures. Democracy emphasizes citizen participation and equality before the law. In doing so, it enables individuals to actively engage in social issues regardless of their cultural background. The equal status of all citizens and mutual understanding promotes integration and connection between cultures.
