Project: In the name of Love – Ehe ohne Grenzen’s daily fight against racism.

الصورة
Ehe ohne Grenzen - Marriage without borders

EHE OHNE GRENZEN (EOG) (Marriage without Borders) is a non-governmental and non-profit association fighting against regulations which inhibit a joint family life.

Except for one part time employee, everyone in the organisation is working on a voluntary basis. It consists of 6 members and 4 consultants.

The initiative’s main objective is equal rights for bi-national couples: either married or living in a joint household. EOG supports families with the wish to settle in Austria by offering orienting information and true-to-life advice in the field of family life, family reunification, the national alien bill, settlement and citizenship. EOG promotes a modern family picture and wants to improve mutual understanding in the society and supports the people of concern and their role as equal members of society. Through personal experience, the members of EOG have become experts in the area of the very complex Alien Bill and are establishing a set of ‘best practice’ strategies in dealing with the discrimination on behalf of authorities. The ongoing project to offer reliable consulting possibilities for binational couples encountering various amounts of difficulties while attempting to settle down together in Austria is something EOG wishes to pursue, in the hope of fighting racism in the name of love.

Gudrun Harrer im Gespräch mit Azadeh Zamirirad

Mittwoch, 25. Januar 2023, 19:00 Uhr

Seit Mitte September gehen Iranerinnen und Iraner gegen das Regime auf die Straße. Was als Empörung über den Tod der 22-jährigen Kurdin Mahsa Amini in den Händen der Sittenpolizei begann, ist längst nicht nur ein Aufstand der Frauen gegen die Kleidungsvorschriften in der Islamischen Republik. Die Proteste haben unterschiedliche Sektoren der Gesellschaft und Teile des Landes erfasst, alle eint sie die Ablehnung nach einer Zwangsordnung unter islamischen Deckmantel. Das Regime reagiert mit Repression und dem Versuch, Demonstrationen in den Randgebieten, vor allem in Kurdistan, als „Separatismus“ darzustellen.

Revitalizing Ecosystems through Experimentation

Revitalizing

The pandemic crisis, the political polarisation and the deteriorating economic situation have contributed to the worsening psychological, professional and social conditions of many young people across Europe. For that reason, Emotic organised a meeting in Vienna for 30 youth workers from Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Croatia, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. The meeting will aim to provide youth workers between 20 and 35 years old with tools to approach youth issues in their work. This will be achieved through Experiential Outdoor Education, through which the young participants will learn how to organise outdoor nature-based activities. The project is also supported and fully funded by the European Union and the Erasmus+ programme.

General Information
Service for Peace consists of an official board listing 8 members and many dedicated volunteers, no one is employed. Through our newsletter we reach an audience of over 200 contacts. Our partnerships are project-oriented. For every project we invite new sponsors and partners. We have good relationships with diverse local companies, clubs and the municipality in Steyr as well as institutions in Vienna. For our next youth exchange we formed partnerships with organizations from Israel (Youth Forum Israel), Palestine (Ta’awon - Palestinian Conflict Resolution) and Germany (Youth Parliament of the City Plauen). For Peace has consultative status within the UN ECOSOC. Our sources of funding are donations from the partners mentioned above and grants, for example the EU Youth in Action Program, which we have received for two of our projects. Our main activities are service projects, international youth exchanges and trainings for our volunteers.
Mission and Objectives

Service For Peace means establishing peace through service. We provide service and learning opportunities through community projects in order to cross barriers of race, religion, class, creed, or national origin, and address urgent social needs. We believe that peace begins with the inner peace fostered by service to others and that active cooperation provides the foundation and the real hope for peace. Our projects also aim at the eight Millenium Development Goals.
Our focus is breaking prejudices against the Arab communities in Austria. We do this in three ways: 1. By bringing youth from Austria and other European countries to the Middle East, especially Palestine and Israel and 2. by organizing local volunteer projects or camps for Austrian youth, local refugees and visitors from Arab countries and 3. by educating youth in schools through the Middle East Suitcase program.

Main Projects / Activities

Since the first youth exchange in the summer of 2006, "Building Bridges to Bethlehem", SFP Austria has given the possibility to 120 young people from the Middle East and 4 other countries of the world either to come in contact with the Austrian culture or to participate in an exchange in Israel and Palestine. As a result of the youth exchange "Europe Meets Middle East" in February 2008 we created the Middle East Suitcase. This workshop project about the Middle East expands the intercultural and interreligious competences and understanding of the participants and promotes lively ways of education. The target audience is Austrian youth from youth centres, schools and organisations. To bring together the residents from young refugees homes in Steyr and Vienna and youth from Austria we organize various activities like the theater project “Let’s play together”, crafts, cooking, hiking and many more.
