"Educating
the mind without
educating the heart
is no education
at all."

Vision

CorCordi’s work is essentially aimed at building capabilities and empowering individuals, institutions and organisations.

Central to CorCordi’s approach is the belief that education is about more than just acquiring knowledge and skills to accelerate careers and earn more money. For CorCordi, education is also about values – the examination and subsequent implementation in daily lives of the core values of truth, justice, respect, trustworthiness, caring, responsibility and integrity.

CorCordi aims gradually to expand its activities to provide support for disadvantaged groups and communities in order to promote international understanding and to build a better world.

CorCordi’s work is grounded firmly on fundamental beliefs first articulated by ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates:

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

CorCordi’s name is derived from the Latin ‘Cor cordi loquitur’ (‘Let heart speak to heart’).
