Progress and development originating from "grass-roots" stirrings rather than an imposition of plans and programs from the top
The freedom of artistic and cultural expression as a fundamental human right

Our values include:
The oneness of humankind
The equality of men and women, with special emphasis on the equal participation of women in all the affairs of society
The achievement of a dynamic coherence between the spiritual and practical requirements of human life
Social and economic development of communities, starting with the individual endeavour, moving through the process of consultation, and ultimately gaining self-sufficiency and self-reliance
