KOPIN - EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES, A NEW MEMBER OF ALF MALTA

Kopin (VO/0200) is a Maltese non-profit NGO that works for human rights, with the aim to empower its beneficiaries as key agents for social change and advancement. It is a hybrid, operating in three interconnected fields: international sustainable development cooperation, refugee and migrant support and global education. Set up 24 years ago, the organisation is made up of professionals with diverse backgrounds providing an innovative package of services, and it supervised by a Board of six members. Kopin works with a number of collaborators, volunteers and external experts. The organisation has partners in Malta, Europe, Kenya and Ethiopia.

Kopin envisions an equitable, diverse and sustainable society, where everyone is empowered to take care of our planet and its people. Our Mission is to empower diverse communities in reaching their full potential, making informed choices and engaging in concrete actions in order to achieve global social justice together, by:

- Advocating for sustainable development;

- Providing activities and services to diverse communities in Malta and abroad;

- Promoting and providing global education;

- Building capacities of our members, partners and volunteers;

- Monitoring and engaging in political processes.

We adopt a human rights and participatory approach, we exchange ideas and expertise with our partners and seek to be innovative.

Kopin's work focuses on three interconnected fields: international sustainable development cooperation, refugee and migrant support and global education. It works with partners at national and European level through a number of projects and initiatives addressing issues of inequality, racism, human rights and sustainable development.

In September we focused a lot on education, as a key to fight against racism and to connect and empower inclusive, cohesive and strong communities. On the 25th September we had the pleasure to take part to Verdala International School Community Engagement Fair, where we met students, teachers and parents and had the opportunity to showcase Kopin's work on #GlobalCitizenshipEducation!
