Our mission and identity

Wave

We are a community of people with and without intellectual disabilities. For us, the community is a place of belonging, growth, and celebration. We believer in our mutual need for one another and in the unique beauty of every person. Jean Vanier, the founder of L’Arche, wanted it to be a place where every person, regardless of their abilities, will find their place and where they’ll be able to contribute to the building of a more humane society.

Zajednica Arka pravno djeluje kao udruga Korablja. Dio smo međunarodne obitelji – mreže zajednica Arka (franc. L’Arche) koje postoje u više od 40 zemalja u svijetu, a koje su okupljene unutar krovne organizacije L’Arche International

Kao simbol, arka označava novi početak, novi život i gradnju boljeg svijeta. Svi su pozvani ući u arku.
