The Kreisau-Initiative e.V. was founded 1989 to address the need for international understanding, democratic education, and active engagement in human rights, particularly in response to Europe's history of division, conflict, and authoritarianism. The Kreisau-Initiative is committed to promoting democracy, human rights, social inclusion, and sustainability through international educational programs and cross-cultural dialogue. Rooted in the legacy of the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group against Nazism, its mission is to empower individuals - especially young people - to actively shape just, inclusive, and democratic societies. At its core, the Kreisau-Initiative responds to persistent social challenges such as discrimination, social exclusion, extremism, and a lack of opportunities for youth participation in shaping democratic, inclusive societies. Recognizing that many young people - especially those from marginalized backgrounds - face barriers to education, empowerment, and cross-cultural exchange, the organization promotes non-formal education as a tool for social change. Today, the need for fostering social cohesion, gender equality, human rights awareness, and sustainability remains as urgent as ever. The Kreisau-Initiative continues to address these challenges by creating spaces for learning, dialogue, and action, empowering individuals to become active, responsible members of a democratic and diverse Europe. The organization's priority objectives are: - To foster social cohesion by addressing discrimination, exclusion, and extremism. - To promote human rights education and critical engagement with history to strengthen democratic values. - To advance gender equality and support marginalized groups through empowerment and participation. - To encourage socio-ecological transformation, raising awareness of sustainable development and climate justice. - To provide spaces for intercultural exchange, enabling young people to develop skills in dialogue, cooperation, and civic responsibility. Through non-formal education, transnational partnerships, and youth-centered approaches, the Kreisau-Initiative equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive positive social change across Europe and beyond.

Since its establishment in 1994, the NANE Association has operated as a politically independent, non-profit, public benefit organization. Guided by a human rights approach, NANE has consistently championed women's rights as human rights. The Association recognizes violence against women as a pervasive, structural, and global phenomenon that transcends social, economic, and national boundaries. It views such violence as a consequence of power imbalances between women and men and an extreme form of gender-based discrimination. Eliminating this violence is fundamental to achieving social equality between women and men. These principles underpin NANE's operations and shape the organization's goals and tasks. NANE's professional activities span individual, community, and societal levels. NANE's primary objective is to improve the conditions of victims of violence against women and to build a world free from such violence. Although the state is responsible for providing effective and professional care and prevention for those affected, it often falls short. NANE steps in to offer emotional, mental, and informational support directly to victims. The Association employs a professionally grounded, feminist, trauma-focused approach that prioritizes the rights and needs of victims. Additionally, NANE enhances the victim assistance, protection, and prevention efforts of Hungarian social and educational systems, legislation, and law enforcement. By aggregating the experiences of those affected and advocating for their interests, NANE fosters gender equality and works to prevent violence against women through education and knowledge dissemination.
