We believe that:
Co-creation is fundamental for generating meaningful regional activities
Transparency is the basis for continued and trustful collaboration
Flexibility is key for accommodating multiple visions and perspectives and for thedevelopment of a diverse and peaceful region
Disciplinary and thematic diversity is the basis for innovation and inclusivity
Interculturality and openness to other ways of life are essential for acquiring a deeper understanding of the region and its particularities
Sharing experiences and learning together are the basis for common understandings of the challenges the region faces and for identifying resources and impactful and innovative solutions
Co-creating spaces where we can express ourselves and have the patience to understand each other is essential in regards to all strategic and specific activities of MOCI, therefore we aspire to periodically co-create such a space for reviewing and further developing this set of principles
Open and co-created resources are vital for the empowerment and capacity building of our network members and their communities.
