The Elenchus is working towards achieving the following goals:

1. To create an globally and equally available online platform for featuring underreported news  and raising awareness for issues that need so.
2. Ignite a communal spirit for the telling of stories and sharing ideas as well as spark debate within society and encourage the application of critical thought.
3. To create an open space for all to express  their ideas to a global audience.
4. To work in partnership with other organisations on international projects for the beneficence of man and the environment and to alleviate the need for humanitarian aid.
