Implementation Partners
Our goal is to give young people an overall understanding of the ecological, economic and social challenges of today’s world. We want to heighten their awareness of global interrelationships and their own actions. Aside from the fun of playing together in the group, we focus on factual knowledge, strengthening and enhancing life skills. With the intention of promoting the formation of values young people and adults should be transformed into well-informed and self-reflective change-makers, who become active in their own living environment.
