General Information

VEFI aims to foster environmentally friendly, sustainable living while meeting with people who think alike. Making personal connections that cross mountain chains or extensive seas just as well as borders and language barriers. In our projects you can live your sustainable dream: travel through Europe, meet new people who are also passionate about the environment and work with locals for their small businesses. ​ And even if you can’t spare the time to travel at the moment, we have just the right thing for you and your commitment to sustainability. Listen to our podcast or check out our blog and hear of very relatable struggles, lows and highs of environmentally living and all the good vegan recipes we share! Too passive? Then actively take part in making VEFI even better!

Mission and Objectives

The association aims to give young people across Europe the opportunity to travel abroad in an environmentally friendly way and to promote an active, sustainable and vegan lifestyle through its projects. The association is built upon the conviction that man-made Climate Change exists and that every individual person can take part in mitigating its effects, as well as adapting to a world in which Climate Change plays a decisive role. Even more so, VEFI aims to actively work towards a more sustainable living in the now as well as the future, as well as, promoting this notion to its members and others. The association is independent, especially in matters of finance, religion or political ideologies. VEFI aims to be an open and safe space and works on dismantling discrimination on the grounds of class, disability, gender, race, religious confession or sexual orientation.
