Vision
Self reliant people and communities,
trusting each other, taking
responsibilty and speaking up for
themselves.
Mission
PCA’s mission is to show and
encourage people to adopt
alternatives to their traditional
ways of being and relating to other
people, by:
Working
with individuals, families,
communities and people in positions
of authority to help them become
more self aware; recognise the
implications of their actions and
decisions on themselves and other
people; take responsiblity for their
own problems and find their own
solutions to them
Showing
them alternative non violent
approaches to their relationships
with others and supporting them to
practise these.
Encouraging
them to develop genuine respect for
others, recognising that every
person, in particularly marginalised
people such as the disabled, also
have feelings and needs and that
everyone should be treated with
equality and care.
Building
strong relationships between people
within communities and between
communities, based on people’s
increasing understanding of each
other.
Creating
a group of skilled and committed non
violence activists who can model
these approaches in their own lives,
share them with others and together
make a gradual societal change.
In
the long term to transforming the
environment for political decisions
to one where there is more respect
and understanding fof underlying
needs of others |
