✨Thoughtfulness
✨Tolerance
✨Synergy
Our core.
We do not seek for solutions to global issues - only to everyday ones. Those that inevitably arise in a multicultural society. Those that can be tackled with no big effort but big commitment. Regular commitment.
- Persistent choice to be 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 - interested in stories of those around us and at the same time considerate of their feelings. Having the truth we believe it but being open to the truth spectrum. Bearing the complexity of the world in mind and challenging single narratives.
- Unparalleled choice to be 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 - learning from opposing to your own beliefs, not condemning them. Only then can the inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, understood and valued be created.
- Impactful choice to create 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 - cooperate with people whose stories expand your truth spectrum. Engage in discussions with them and build a community that can make a lasting impact.
These are choices [values] that led to The Truth Spectrum project creation and these are choices that can help you to build your own truth spectrum. We have explored the second one today and truly hope that it will help you to expand your truth spectrum!💫

It is within the darkest times when the most beautiful things can be born.
I was wandering for a long time about the “why?”. Why do wars exist? Why so much negativity happened to me? Why do I have to live with so much pain? I did not know the answers but I knew that I should keep going despite all the troubles the Russian invasion of Ukraine brought into my newly built life in Germany… Day by day, little by little I was learning. Learning to overcome pain, learning to be patient, learning to be grateful, learning to offer and to accept help. And learning to be a global citizen.
My experiences taught me about the fact that world is never black and white and I should not put people into boxes whenever I hear about their nationality. Being a part of multiple realities taught me to be more open to what others have to share and avoid fast conclusions. Wonderful insights were born within deep conversations about diverse topics I had with people around me. And I would often catch myself thinking: “I want more people to know about them! I want more people to hear these stories! These stories that contradict single narratives from the media and offer a unique perspective. These stories that create the full picture… These stories that can make our world more understanding and inclusive”.
This is how the idea of The Truth Spectrum was born. Within the darkest times. And within greatest insights. Let’s build it together and learn to expand it.
