A value-driven foundation
In order for SASNEV to be respected by the South African language and cultural community as an effective project implementation organisation, as well as an organisation worthy of sponsorship and donations, our values have to be clearly defined and followed.

SASNEV’s values:

Integrity
We support free and honest communication and operate in a trustworthy manner both internally and with regard to our information network.

Fairness
We acknowledge the importance of balancing multiple interests and make decisions based on the promotion of South African, Dutch and Flemish cultural and language exchanges.

Pro-activity
We remain informed about and stay connected with important issues regarding language and culture, and we contribute positively towards debates and issues in our information community.

Teamwork
We support one another as SASNEV members, be it at board or management level, or on project-related issues, and we respect one another’s thinking through open and honest communication.

Independent thinking
We believe in the unique perspective that each individual can contribute, and are known as an organisation in which innovative thinking is encouraged, supported and constructively debated and evaluated with respect for each person’s opinion.

Responsibility
We pride ourselves on being good managers of the funds that are entrusted to us. We make well-informed decisions, and embark on projects only when we are convinced of their impact and workability. We take responsibility for our actions and deal with all donated funds in an open and transparent manner.
