CULTURES OF DIGNITY is an organization founded by author and educator, Rosalind Wiseman, that works with communities to shift the way we think about young people’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
OUR CORE VALUES
Honor the role young people play in building communities of dignity
Recognize that adults need the best research and concrete skills to work with young people
Appreciate and acknowledge that this work is messy and ongoing
We stand against hatred, bigotry, & fear. We support communities to build strength, courage, & purpose.
OUR DEFINITIONS
We think a lot about making words matter. These words are the foundation for our work:
CULTURE: The dictionary defines culture as the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group. We define it as everything we know but have never been taught.
DIGNITY: From the Latin word dignitas, which means “to be worthy.” Dignity is a given. All people have the inherent right to be treated with an essential value and treated ethically.
