Mission Statement (Nederlands hieronder)
DigiCare Foundation is a nonprofit organisation established to promote
'art for social change'. We believe that a healthy society is founded on
the principles of justice, shared economic opportunity and sustainable
environmental practices.

In those areas of the world where people need help we assist them to tell
their stories to the world in compelling, informative and engaging ways
through art, (cross-)media productions and interactivity. We value our
partnerships with NGO's, other Community based organisations and engaged
artists.

Healthy societies rely fundamentally on respect for human rights, the
vitality of communities and the integrity of all creation.


Mission Statement
Stichting DigiCare is een nonprofit organisatie, opgericht met het oog op
'de kunst van sociale verandering'. Omdat wij menen dat een gezonde
samenleving gefundeerd is op de principes van rechtvaardigheid, gelijke
economische kansen en duurzaam milieubeleid. In die gebieden waar het
nodig is, helpen wij mensen hun verhaal op betrokken, informatieve en
meeslepende wijze aan de wereld te vertellen. Hiervoor zetten we een mix
van kunst, (cross-)media producties en interactiviteit in. Daarbij
hechten we grote waarde aan samenwerking met NGO's, andere
maatschappelijke organisaties en kunstenaars en artiesten.

Een gezonde samenleving steunt fundamenteel op respect voor
mensenrechten, levensvatbaarheid van bevolkingsgroepen en integriteit
van al haar instellingen.
