The Consortium incorporates recognisable elements of other social movements into its organisational culture, but a distinctive emphasis within internal governance is placed on the cultivation of values (humanitarian, solidarity, diversity, respect and social justice) and the promotion of deep links between its Members. In this sense, with the acquisition of membership the members of the Consortium not only manage to articulate their specific struggles, but also become part of a "family", and of a broader and positive project, which aspires to global transformations and changes.
