3. Openness to new things. We are ready to learn, try new formats and constantly develop.
4. Tolerance. We do not generalize or spread stereotypes about certain population groups.
5. Freedom of speech. We do not allow ourselves to be censored and nurture critical thinking in the team. We show solidarity with colleagues when they are hindered in their professional activities.
