Centre for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights-Osijek is a non-governmental organisation established in 1992. We are focused on the building of peace, protection and promotion of human rights and freedoms, and on the promotion of creative methods of conflict resolution at the individual, group, and political level. We plead for conscious inclusion in the building of the European Union as a peace project and for taking over responsibility for the common destiny of humankind and the planet Earth.

Our vision: sustainable peace

Our mission: building society based on the culture of peace

We work toward our mission through empowering individuals, initiatives and civil society organizations for responsible participation in positive social changes, contributing to strengthening of civil society and rule of law.
We promote respect of diversity, humanity, tolerance, pluralism, human rights, personal responsibility, pacifism, gender equality and nonviolence.

Under peace building we understand building and improvement of structures, procedures for consciousness-raising, formulating and solving problems, conflicts, and injustices by using democratic and other non-violent methods of political work – permanent improvement of the civil society and common security.
Approaches, methods, and activities of peace building are based on four basic values:

Values that represent the foundation of our internal organization are esteem and integrity of an individual, multi-ethnicity, participatory democracy, good communication, teamwork, responsibility, permanent direction towards learning, publicity of work and transparency of financial management, cooperation, and networking
