Projects
When an idea resonates with our community, we do everything we can to bring it to life. We find like-minded people, raise the necessary funds, and set specific goals. In short: We turn good ideas into our projects.
Here you can see the projects we’re currently working on, big and small, and who’s supporting us along the way.
Generation Z(eitenwende): Young People’s Perspectives on Foreign and European Policy
How do young people view Germany’s role in the world? In times of global upheaval, young voices are missing from the foreign policy debate. The Generation Z(eitenwende) project brings their perspectives to the fore and provides new and innovative impetus for a sustainable German foreign and European policy.

Theme of the Year 2026: Grassroots Perspectives on Security
Security policy in Germany and Europe is undergoing fundamental change, yet it continues to be predominantly military in nature and is being neglected. Complex challenges are still being addressed with outdated approaches. Yet security in open, democratic societies is multidimensional. It requires new ways of thinking, diverse perspectives and the systematic involvement of under-represented groups, particularly young people. This is precisely where our grassroots approach comes in: it creates space for diverse perspectives, builds bridges in polarised times and channels ideas from society into politics. This gives rise to innovative ideas that are urgently needed in the face of the current upheavals.
