The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proclaimed by the UN, as well as our democratic core values, form the orientation framework for our actions. We advocate and shape the change of society, economy and politics on a holistic level (economic, ecological, social and cultural). In doing so, we support others and take our own initiatives through participative and facilitative methods. We strengthen collaboration and support people and organizations in taking paths into an uncertain future with courage and resilience. We also accompany personal and organizational change through systemic, cross-disciplinary and cross-sector expertise.
