The organisation sees activism, collaboration and understanding among people as an integral part of a democratic and just society.

PRONI is working on bridging the barriers that create differences within society. The organisation is implementing its peace work education and peace work methodology in the post-war areas where society expressed the need for social reconstruction. They cooperate with all organisations in the NGO sector, institutions, government agencies at all levels within the state, funds and agencies outside of the country that share the same goals and values. They also work with individuals who have intellectual and economic potential to support those ideas, goals and values.

Models of social education promoted and applied thereof are: interactive learning, inter-cultural approach, team-work, individual work, creation of safe areas for development, promotion of volunteerism, awareness-raising among youth about their rights and obligations.
