Symβiosis is a nonprofit, non-partisan, non-commercial and non-governmental association that acts on the basis of mutual trust, recognition and equality among partners and networks. Our vision is of an open society where equality and diversity are respected, valued and embraced, a society free from all forms of racism, sectarianism, discrimination and social exclusion; where human rights are guaranteed. Our mission is building social capital for democracy and developing civic awareness on institutional practices regarding rights, based on the premise that practicing human rights protection equals democratic rule of law. Aiming to bridge theory, practice and policy, Symβiosis focuses on information and education, freedom of expression, documentation and analysis, public debate and active civic participation, so that people and communities voice their needs and ideas.
