GOALS

CONNECTING CIVIL SOCIETIES

We bring together NGOs, activists and other stakeholders from numerous countries for exchange, cooperation, and a joint commitment for a democratic, inclusive society.  

ADVANCING KEY ISSUES

Together with our partners, we develop and implement innovative projects and programs to tackle key challenges of a changing world and to promote active citizenship.

SHARING EXPERTISE

We gather, analyze and pass on profound first-hand knowledge on the situation in our project regions in publications, lectures and consulting.
