Our values

The values which we share with our guests create a unique and special atmosphere, which is cheerful and friendly. Those who come to Ciarus with an open and curious mind are enriched by the time they leave - it is a place of experimentation in citizenship and peace - building, which enables generations, countries and cultures to mix.

A thousand stays to invent, 5 values to share

1. "Here I am welcome the way I am !"
   "Whether young or old, in good health or disabled and regardless of ethnic origin, here I am welcome with my cultural background and my convictions, received in a language I can understand. Here I am fully accepted and respected in spite of any differences. Equally I accept others for who they are."
2. "Here I find a place of encounters and exchange!"
   "Here I am neither an anonymous customer nor a lonely traveller. Outside my room, my place of privacy, I find a structure where hospitality and dialogue are not just empty words. Vast open areas are accessible to all guests, with detailed, up-to-date information as well as free interactive entertainment all available. These are ideal elements to encourage encounters and exchange."
3. "Here I can open doors that lead to the new and unknown!"
   "Here I will meet people from different cultures and other horizons. Many paths meet here: ALSACE, a crossroads of men and ideas, is one of the regions in France which has been able to preserve its traditions and cultural differences. Here one is encouraged to discover new things and open doors towards the unknown."
4. "Here I am given the opportunity to experience tolerance, solidarity and peace work!"
   "Through exhibitions, discussions and other events I have the opportunity to actively fight injustice and discrimination. I can also gain a better understanding of the rights and duties of my fellow citizens. Thus not only can I live and acquire tolerance and solidarity as well as work for peace in a concrete way according to my abilities and experience, but I can also take responsibility for the balance of our planet Earth - to feel what it is like to be a world citizen."
5. "Here I meet people who have strong convictions and show their commitment!"
   "Here I am in contact with people who do not hide their spiritual affiliation and who openly live by their beliefs. In this humanistic and ecumenical environment which welcomes me, I am aware of these facts and accept religious practice. I am invited to get to know them better. I am free to share them. I have respect for them."
