Our Vision & Values
CAN WA's vision is to inspire and mobilise communities to explore, express and grow their local and unique culture.
The core values of CAN WA are:
- a belief in community empowerment and social inclusion;
- respect for diversity;
- the right to the self-determination of community values;
- sustainability; and
- the expression of culture through participation and dialogue.
We will always strive to achieve or exceed best practice standards. We believe in the integrity of process: in consultation and the exchange of ideas. We value all forms of cultural communication, from traditional to radical mediums. We believe that nowhere is void of culture and that giving culture a voice is the most powerful thing a community can do to build cohesion. We will underpin all our actions with a commitment to environmental and social sustainability. Our work will establish a strong local vision with a global reach.
CAN WA will always support the dynamic revision and growth of our organisation in line with industry standards. Just as we seek to amplify the cultural development ideals of communities, so too we will articulate a vibrant and authentic future for our own organisation.
