1. Attracting the attention of the world to tourism objects in one of the most beautiful places of the Russian Federation — the North Caucasus.
2. Promoting spiritual and cultural unity of the Circassians through a joint climb to the highest peak of the Caucasus and Europe Iuashkhamafe (Elbrus).
3. Promoting return of the Circassians to their historic homeland.
4. Popularization of the two main dialects of Circassian language among the Circassians.
5. Restoration of cultural and historical heritage of the Circassian people through memorable visit to the historical places significant for the Circassian nation.

Ideology: The program aims at creation of a platform of live communication among the Circassians living in the Russian Federation and foreign countries, as well as the establishment of cultural relations between them. The Circassians from diasporas will get a real chance to explore their historical homeland, to visit sacred historical places for the Circassians. The Organizers of the project say that Syria has been ongoing armed conflict for the fourth year in a row, and the Circassians, our brothers and sisters, got unwillingly involved in it. Project participants want to give moral support to their compatriots in the zone of armed aggression and commit their project to savior of the Circassians in Syria and to return to their native soil. They hope to draw the attention of the Russian authorities to the organization and implementation of the visa facilitation for the Circassians who wish to return to their homeland. There is a real possibility- with the participation of the state structures of different levels -to create special programs for teaching Russian – the state language on the territory of the Russian Federation, assistance in finding jobs, housing, etc. Implementation of the project as a whole will: create a positive reputation of the Circassian community in the world, bring approval from people at large and draw attention to tourism in Adygea and Kabardino- Balkaria. Public organization “Circassian World” hopes the project will help to show global community the depth of the problem from spiritual, linguistic and cultural disunity of the Circassians and will help to restore a positive image of a Circassian in the eyes of Russian and global community .
