CFPWD was created based on the belief that it is quite necessary to include PWDs in all aspects of the decision making process in order to change the reality in which creative PWDs live. Indeed, society has been used to judging creativity of PWDs according to their disabilities rather than viewing them as active citizens who influence and are influenced by their societies. Furthermore, PWDs often suffer from the prevailing superficial and emotional attitude towards them which is rooted in stereotypes, stigma and lack of belief in their abilities. As a result, the majority of PWDs are deprived of training, capacity building, and skills upgrading opportunities. Most often, their talents are lost, without being properly highlighted in the community.
• Promoting equality, equal opportunities and indiscrimination which are all enshrined in the Syrian constitution and principles of human rights and social justice.
• Changing prevailing attitudes towards disability, by creating an environment that is aware of PWDs potentials and resources, and utilizes them for the benefit of society as a whole.
• Creating an inclusive environment, by providing an infrastructure that permits PWDs to play their full role in society and live an equitable life, and by establishing mechanisms and strategies to enforce laws.
• Looking for talented PWDs and developing and nurturing such talents and creativity to ensure cultural inclusion.
• Promoting the values, rights and duties of citizenship, transparency, societal and individual responsibility for the development of the nation, active participation, respect of difference, equal opportunities, the inclusion of PWDs in all walks of life, creativity;and seeking to embed such values in all CFPWD’s programs, activities, and works.
