General Information
The association "gain&sustain:europe" was founded in 2009 in Graz, Austria, and exists at the moment of ten enthusiastic young people at the age between 18 and 30 years. We don't have permanent staff, it is lead by 2 people that are engaged in international training affairs, Sabrina Schifrer & Martina Maria Linzer. We are very much involved in Erasmus+ projects and organize international training courses here in Austria and send youngsters to our partner seminars in other countries. Our partner network is huge and we are working with NGOs and youth initiatives all over the world.
Mission and Objectives

The organisation aims to support social, economic and ecological sustainability in Europe and also developing countries all over the world. In the centre of our activity stands the desegregation of politics, society and economy with youngsters in the global context and the step in to an open dialogue and a generation of valuable common strategies for the present and the future. As our major task we see the interlinking and consultation of youngsters in connection with international, multicultural events and EU projects to promote awareness in the direction of tolerance, EU citizenship and cultural diversity with the generation of tomorrow. The main objective of the association is the interlinking of single organisations and individuals, above all youngsters, around subjects like sustainability and social entrepreneurship in order to give space to innovation & creativity and to allow a cultural exchange.
