The aim of our association is to encourage developing a more sustainable and non-violent way of life.
Based on the change of the individual as well as community oriented lifestyle, it is intended - in solidarity with others - that their change do influence all parts of the society.
These alternatives shall simultanously become experiments, concretized in real concepts, projects, grassroots initiatives and movements (f. e.: for education, trainings, social life, work, but also in the areas of the economic system, technical science, environment, peace, religious and humanistic belief and other relevant social and political areas)
Another scope is the defense and development of human, social and environmental rights and other related laws. Individuals, groups and their environment which are affected by the violation of their rights, should get support in their struggle for justice.
