gain&sustain:europe

The association "gain&sustain:europe" was founded in 2009 in Graz, Austria, and exists at the moment of 15 enthusiastic young people at the age between 18 and 28 years. The organisation aims at the support of social, economic and ecological sustainability in Europe and also in developing countries all over the world. In the centre of our activity stands the desegregation of politics, society and economy with youngsters in the global context to step in an open dialogue and to generate valuable common strategies for future and present. As our major task we see the interlinking and consultation of youngsters in connection with international, multicultural events and EU projects to promote a raising of awareness in the field of tolerance, EU citizenship and cultural diversity with the generation of tomorrow. The main objective of the association is the interlinking of single organisations and private individuals, above all youngsters, around subjects like Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship in order to give space to innovation & creativity and to allow a cultural exchange.
