Na otočnim mikro-lokacijama, gdje više od 80 % stanovništva izravno ili neizravno živi od turizma, ovakav pristup postaje ključno razvojno pitanje.

Naše vrijednosti/Our values  

DAVANJE

To nisam ja,
to si ti.
To tvoja vatra
u meni žari.

Naše je,
ljubavi,
samo ono
što smo drugima dali.

Enes Kišević 

GIVING

It is not me,
it is you.
It is your fire
that burns within me.

Ours is,
my love,
only what
we have given to others.

Enes Kišević 

U Emedei vjerujemo da se istinska vrijednost stvara u davanju —
u odnosima koje gradimo, u znanju koje dijelimo i u energiji kojom jedni druge pokrećemo.

Vodimo se ljudskošću, povjerenjem i brigom za zajednicu, uvjereni da ono što ostaje iza nas nije ono što zadržimo za sebe, već ono što smo drugima dali.

 

 

At Emedea, we believe that true value is created through giving —
in the relationships we build, the knowledge we share, and the energy with which we inspire one another.

Guided by humanity, trust and care for the community, we believe that what remains is not what we keep for ourselves, but what we give to others.
