Core Values of Avatud Viimsi Arutelud

Respect
  • Every person deserves to be treated with respect – even when opinions differ. Respect builds the foundation for dialogue and trust.
“We listen to each other, not argue against one another.”

Openness
  • We are willing to listen to new perspectives and consider diverse experiences. Openness means being ready to learn and change our views when new insights challenge them.
“Openness creates understanding; understanding creates unity.”

Safety
  • Discussions are based on trust – no one should fear judgment or attack. A safe environment allows open and honest talk, even on sensitive topics.
“Safety grows from respect and goodwill.”

Cooperation
  • We do not seek opposition but opportunities to build and improve together. Cooperation means that every participant’s contribution matters, regardless of their position.
“By thinking together, wiser solutions emerge.”

Clarity and Transparency
  • Information, decisions, and discussion summaries are accessible to everyone. Clarity helps avoid rumours and strengthens community trust.
“Clarity builds confidence.”

Care
  • We care for our community, nature, and each other. A community is strong when everyone feels seen and supported.
“A caring attitude is the foundation of a stronger community.”
