Our Common Good project partners:

Our project, 'Common Good,' unites NGOs from Austria, Italy, and Germany to explore how civil society, particularly NGOs, can restore social cohesion and foster open, unprejudiced communication to uphold democratic principles and values. Our focus is on community emotional well-being, a critical yet often overlooked area with significant impact, where practical solutions are scarce.
