Groep Ubuntu (Group Ubuntu) (Belgium)
About

As a social network organisation, Group Ubuntu goes that one step further. They shift the standard for vulnerable people and families. They settle for nothing less than their own valued place in society by strengthening them. By actively listening to them and their network, they search together for unique, creative answers. Truly, truly customised! 

Making people stronger also makes them stronger. They are generally recognised and appreciated for their pedagogical knowledge and their extensive expertise in both cognitive training (medial pedagogical action, brain teaser) and their approach to wellbeing (gentle teaching). Strong content and a warm approach for the best quality of life. 

They create activities, services and workplaces for people with a (suspected) disability and for those who are further removed from the labour market. Different and cross-sectoral! They look for cross-pollination across sectors and in connection with the neighbourhood. After all, they find it very normal that everyone gets the chance to contribute to a warm, solidary living environment. 

Being human is something done together. Everyone takes care of everyone. 

Their Values

They have an open mind and a broad view: They stand in the world with an open visor. Curious about the other, they enter into dialogue with an open mind and full of confidence. They see diversity and being different as an enrichment that they want to approach on an equal footing with their own thinking and doing.

They put people first: What clients, customers and employees want is central. People are their engine. They focus strongly on appropriate answers together with them. They are constantly challenged and encouraged by their environment. After all, they are looking for that unique, creative answer that fits in an interaction between demand and action tailored to their client's needs.

They connect: Unity is their strength, diversity is their wealth. If everyone can and may contribute in their own way, they will shape a warm society. The key to this lies with them: they want to collaborate internally and externally in a connecting way. Co-creation and harmonious decision-making are the essence of this.

They strengthen from strengths: They start with what is. They bundle and develop the existing sources of power and use them to the fullest. In this way, everyone can contribute to a warm neighbourhood from an active meaning.

They operate in a socially driven manner: It is their turn! They take the initiative to create social added value. This profit is always socially, ecologically sustainable and economically manageable. They do not participate if the social impact on our environment is not sufficiently distinctive.

They renew: They are a sanctuary where there is room for experiment. From a long-term vision, they proactively seek innovative answers. The continuous pursuit of improvement and pioneering in this requires alert antennae and an appropriate dose of courage.

They make the difference, with pleasure: For each other, for the neighborhood, for their society, for themselves. That is what they are committed to. They really want to make a difference in that social profit and especially show it, let it be felt, inspire each other. Goesting creates even more goesting.
