Social Integrity & Trust
To ensure the integrity of our digital home, we've developed a robust registration system that prioritizes safety and authenticity. Assyrian Network is built by Assyrians, for Assyrians - creating a respectful environment where our community can thrive with confidence.
Our tiered access system ensures security while welcoming new members. Tier 1 provides limited visitor access for exploration, while Tier 2 unlocks full platform capabilities after identity verification. This verification process protects your privacy while maintaining community authenticity - we won't know your identity unless you choose to reveal it, but we can moderate effectively if terms are violated.
Every feature, every decision, every line of code is guided by our commitment to maintaining a trustworthy platform where Assyrians worldwide can connect without compromise.
Community
We Are One
Regardless of your affiliations, backgrounds, or where you call home - we are all Assyrian at the end of the day. Assyrian Network is a space where unity prevails over division, where labels give way to shared identity, and where every voice matters equally.
There will be no favoritism, debate over nomenclature, or discrimination in any shape or form. While constructive criticism and freedom of expression are not only welcomed but encouraged, inappropriate and insulting actions will not be tolerated. We are building a central hub that leaves no Assyrian out.
Our hope and goal is to have all Assyrian churches and organizations around the world involved in our digital home. We are working closely with parishes, community leaders, and grassroots organizations to ensure that digital resources are at everyone's disposal, strengthening communal ties across all geographies.
Education
Preservation of Our History
Our heritage is our treasure, and preserving it for future generations is not just a goal - it's our sacred duty. Assyrian Network provides a comprehensive platform for cultural education, making learning about our history, language, and traditions engaging and accessible for all ages.
Through gamified educational experiences, we're making it exciting for youth to connect with their roots. From interactive language lessons to historical challenges, from family recipe archives to cultural storytelling, we're transforming education into an adventure that resonates with the next generation.
Public blogs, articles, digital archives, and community-contributed content create a living repository of Assyrian knowledge. Every recipe shared, every story told, every tradition documented adds another thread to the rich tapestry of our collective memory. Together, we ensure that our heritage doesn't just survive - it thrives.
Privacy
Freedom & Safety Through Privacy
Privacy is not an afterthought - it's at the very foundation of how we've built Assyrian Network. In an age where personal data is often treated as currency, we've chosen a different path: your information belongs to you, and you control how it's shared.
Our platform is designed with privacy-first principles. You decide what to reveal about your identity. You control your visibility and who can interact with you. Safety through privacy isn't just a slogan - it's embedded in every feature and functionality we develop.
We believe that constructive criticism and open dialogue are essential to a healthy community, and we protect your right to participate freely. Moderation occurs only when community terms are violated, ensuring that respect and safety coexist with freedom of expression. Your trust is our most valuable asset, and we safeguard it with unwavering commitment.
Religion
Faith-Based Unity Without Barriers
Faith is central to Assyrian identity, and Assyrian Network embraces this truth while celebrating our diversity. We welcome all denominations - whether you worship at the Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic, Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholic, or any other Assyrian church. Religion is not a barrier to our unity; it is a bridge that connects us.
Our platform actively partners with churches across all denominations, providing digital resources that enhance parish life and strengthen spiritual communities. From live streaming holy mass to coordinating youth group activities, from sharing spiritual resources to celebrating our diverse religious traditions - we honor the faith that has sustained our people through millennia.
We operate on the principle that we are one people, one nation, one faith in our shared Assyrian identity. Theological differences are respected, but they do not divide us. Instead, they enrich the beautiful mosaic of our community. Together, united in our heritage and strengthened by our faith, we build a future that honors both our spiritual roots and our communal bonds.
These principles are not just words - they are our promise to you.
Every feature we build, every decision we make, and every line of code we write is guided by these five foundational values. Together, we're creating more than a platform - we're building a digital home for our people.
