OUR MISSION
The essential mission of the Center for the Renewal of Culture is to deepen public understanding of what constitute the true foundations of a free society in Croatia.
1.
Center for the Renewal of Culture promotes the doctrine of limited government based on individual freedom and a free economy.
2.
We believe that institutions (political parties, judiciary, parliament etc.) alone are no guarantee for a well-ordered society. Citizens must take responsibility themselves for the common good.
3.
Much of our work is focused on educating a new generation of leaders in Croatia which will be able to confront the contemporary challenges facing all of Europe.
4.
The Welfare State is considered by many to be the highest moral achievement of Western society, but what is often overlooked is the corrupting effect big government policies have on citizens.
5.
We believe in low taxes, fair competition and the ability of people to responsibly order their lives for themselves. This philosophy has sustained our mission and it is the reason why the Center hosts the Free-Market Roadshow every year in Croatia.
6.
We also believe that a culture which protects Life, marriage and the traditional family is essential for a flourishing society.
