Overall goal
The strategic partnership makes a significant contribution to development policy education, information and media work for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Austria.
People throughout Austria from diverse social and age groups are sensitized to issues related to the 2030 Agenda through appropriate information and educational offerings (with a particular focus on key topics such as climate justice, migration policy, social inequality, and global partnership), and global connections are made visible in the light of multiple crises. People are taking advantage of the opportunities to get involved and are supported in their existing commitment to global citizenship according to the concept of "Global Citizenship Education."
With this program, the regional development work in Burgenland (Europahaus Burgenland) will be integrated into the current ADA funding agreement Südwind Strategic Partnership. Südwind now operates under one roof with regional offices in eight federal states (except Carinthia).
