Our values
“A highly developed values system is like a compass. It serves as a guide to point you in the right direction when you are lost.” – Idowu Koyenikan
New World Together defends environmental, humanist and Universalist values, and our values are not only here to give us direction, but also to guarantee that we do not lose ourselves along the way. We believe in humanity’s ability to learn and evolve, we believe in our ability to be able to live with one another and to stand united in diversity, and in peace. Most important of all, we believe in the power of consciousness, intelligence and reason to be able to achieve it.
Our values are very important to us they define who we are, what we stand for, how we thrive to act:
– Humanism: We have faith in the goodness of human beings, we have faith in ourselves and others to learn from our mistakes and evolve accordingly
– Universalism: we stand for universal and global values over cultural norms and dogmas
– Life: we believe in treating all beings with compassion and enhancing life
– Altruism: we believe in altruism as a mean for self-accomplishment and fulfillment, as well as common sense acknowledging our interdependence and interconnection
– Ecology: we see the integration of the limits of our planet ecosystem as mandatory at the global level to create a sustainable society
– Honesty: we believe in the power of telling our truth rather than in compromising with it in order to obtain people attention and gratification.
– Transparency: we believe in the transforming positive power of transparency, as well as a guarantee that we will not take advantage of our position to defend private interest against collective interest
– Integrity: integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness, but for us it also mean to upkeep our values against potential external influences

– Pragmatism: we believe in simplicity, efficiency and in direct action to incarnate our ideals
– Common sense: we believe in the power of common sense & sound judgment, to decide what is applicable or not, relevant or not, suitable or not rather than in the old traditional and judgmental “good”/ “bad”.
– Rationality: although we do validate a universal spirituality and holistic approach, we believe before in rationality, reason or logic
– Creativity: we believe in human intelligence and in news ideas, new solutions to improve ourselves and our overall experience on earth
– Empowerment: our actions should be focusing in empowering others to become independent and self-sufficient rather than building relationships of dependence
– Collaboration: the strong believe that collaboration to achieve greatness is much more powerful than competition is part of our vision
– Consciousness: through self-knowledge, introspection and reconnection, one can develop compassion for all beings
