Our Idea
Amidst all the violence affecting societies, the weakest and the strongest ones alike, amidst all these violations against the most fundamental rights and values cherished by societies...
We, as responsible citizens with the power and ability to help, cannot stand there and watch.
We just need a way to do it.
We just need a way to do it.
Our Approach
The Geneva Platform aims at empowerment for it is only through such an approach, that societies would be able to achieve their goals and maintain them.
The latter point being the yardstick of our approach, and for as much as ready-made solutions are tempting; to really achieve the goals, one must be able to create the solutions himself at any moment.
As a Platform, we aim to effectively and concretely act as a platform by giving societies and individuals a chance to seek after their rights. We tend to be the voice of the voiceless. The Platform encourages dialogue and interaction and percieves them as keys to understanding and overcoming issues, and will pursue any of the means reachable in order establish and maintain this culture.

Our Audience
We believe that the topics we tackle have no specific audience, but rather require different approaches depending on the audience.
GPEPH always looks for creativity and originality in its work and adopts the most appropriate approach in its attempt to convey its messages.
