Topics & areas of focus
In order to make diversity, dialogue and education a reality in society, we are working on these specific topics and priorities:
Migration, flight & integration
The question of how we live together in the face of migration, flight and asylum affects the whole of society. We promote an appreciative approach to diversity in order to create a society based on solidarity in which all human beings can develop their potential.
Inclusion as a human right
Everyone has the right to participation. We are committed to ensuring that disadvantaged people are not denied this right.
Thinking Europe further – towards the South-east
Civil society in the EU’s (south-)eastern neighbouring regions is facing adversities. Therefore, IZ promotes social commitment in the region, especially through networking.
Youth policy & participation
For young people in particular, it is crucial to learn how to participate in shaping decisions that affect them. That is why we are committed to participation and are involved in the field of youth policy in general.
Political education
Our society needs to be shaped in an active way. To make this possible, people need adequate skills and knowledge – for example regarding diversity, human rights and the media.
