Mission

Who are we?

 

The Kurt Lewin Foundation is an independent public interest civil organisation.

 

What is our Purpose?

 

In close cooperation with our partners we wish to make a contribution to the consolidation of a democratic society in Hungary and particularly to the increase of tolerance and the elimination of stereotype-based thinking.

 

What do we serve, what service do we provide?

 

We help promote social dialogue, tolerance and the dissemination of knowledge and skills required for active civic participation by way of developing critical thinking.
