Charter

Preface

mosaique intent is to be an open space of mutual understanding of people of different social and geographical origin.  The precepts of mosaique are humanity, tolerance, openness, and mutual respect.

For us, tolerance in all areas of culture, integration, and peace among people is a priority. We want to create an intercultural, intergenerational, and inclusive, friendly place that is open to people from all over the world where everybody feels welcome. In the MOSAIQUE, every single person is welcome, regardless of their social position, geographical origin, political attitude, ethnic or religious background, health condition, sexual orientation, or gender.
