Our Values
Guiding Our Programmatic Direction, Institutional Business Opportunities and Brand Identity
Our Shared Values
We have identified a set of organizational values for the entire institution, including Schloss Leopoldskron.
These values guide our programmatic direction, institutional business opportunities and our brand identity.
We Are Welcoming
We live in a global world.
Our work is to bridge cultures and make space for each other, to ensure every person we work with and host is welcomed, feels secure, and seen for the value they bring.
We welcome by being prepared, accessible, and adaptable.
We Encourage Exchange
Our organization was founded as a forum to exchange ideas, find common ground and build creative solutions.
We carry this forward by facilitating situations where Fellows can learn from each other in unexpected ways and guests have unique experiences.
As colleagues we make space to listen to each other and value opinions different from ours.
We Stand for Fairness
Creating environments and situations that foster diversity, equity and inclusion is critical to our future together.
We respect the work people do in an equal way, and build opportunities for people to engage in ways that feel supportive to them.
We continuously learn and improve as our understanding of true fairness expands.
We Aim for Transformation
We know this work is transformational for our Fellows, our guests, and our colleagues.
We tailor our offerings and structures to meet emerging needs and create a better world.
Challenges are opportunities to improve, to come up with a solution that builds for the future.
Our organization-wide communication, understanding, and decision-making are central to our ability.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
For more than 75 years, Salzburg Global has been committed to peace, reconciliation, and renewal.
To meet our aims, we have always sought to embrace diversity and allow for an “all-in” exchange.
We believe that peace and reconciliation can only happen in an atmosphere of understanding, recognition and true appreciation of different perspectives and opinions.
To this end, Salzburg Global has sought to embrace the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) throughout its history.
Needless to say, our understanding of DEI has expanded and deepened over time.
It is a journey that unfolds day by day and step by step as we continue to learn from our Fellows, our partners, and our friends and supporters around the world.
The Start of a Journey
Our first report, which you can download here, represents both a commitment to DEI and the commencement of a larger journey, infusing DEI into the various operations of Salzburg Global.
Below is an overview of the upcoming pillar-specific reports. In between these reports, a variety of communications will bring to the surface stories, initiatives, and conversations around DEI at Salzburg Global.
The desire to consistently communicate DEI-related developments at Salzburg Global is underpinned by the desire to invite partners, Fellows, and stakeholders to get involved in the journey and “speak back” as a way to improve the efficacy of initiatives.
The Place and DEI Report analyzes the following themes:
- Historical Developments of the Schloss
