Description of the Organization

The German Federation for Arts Education and Cultural Learning (Bundesvereinigung Kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung - BKJ) is the umbrella organisation for cultural education in Germany. More than 50 nationwide specialist organisations and state associations have joined forces in the BKJ. With their offers of cultural education in the fields of visual arts, digital media, film, photography, literature, music, rhythm, play, dance, theatre and circus, they are committed to diversity, inclusion, voluntary work, international exchange and successful educational landscapes. We advise specialists and teachers in the field of (non-formal) arts education on technical and conceptual questions and on support programmes, also at the intersection with an education for sustainable development and transformative learning for global justice. Youth organisations based in Germany can apply to us for funding for individual programmes, for example for international exchanges in the field of cultural education or for educational alliances at local level.

Description of the Organization

The NGO Management Association (NMA) is registered in Switzerland as a non-profit organisation. Behind NMA is a group of people who are active in development cooperation and humanitarian aid, as well as continuing education in these fields.

The aim of NMA is to help NGOs in the North and South to sustainably improve their management knowledge and skills so that they can even more effectively benefit their communities. To this end, we have been running NGO Manager, a website and newsletter with selected free management tools for NGOs, on a voluntary basis since 2001. We run management courses for NGOs and other non-profit organisations and associations. In 2007, we successfully ran our first courses in Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal, and in 2008, our first courses in  Switzerland.

The Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication was founded in 1996. Today, it is part of the Faculty of Environmental Technology at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg. The institute's academic staff carries out research, teaching, and knowledge-transfer activities related to environment and sustainability communication. Scientific analysis, theory elaboration, and concept development are the key components of all research projects carried out at this institute. Their objective is to promote the development of competencies at the individual, institutional, and collective levels in order to create a future based on the principle of sustainability. In the autumn of 2005, this institute was awarded the UNESCO Chair in Higher Education for Sustainable Development.

Description of the Organization

For over 30 years, INKOTA has been an ecumenical network of development-oriented grassroots organizations, parishes, fair-trade stores, and individuals.
We align ourselves with the worldwide movement of the critics of globalization and therefore, work for a world in which the human needs and interests of all people count more than the economic interests of a privileged group. Hereby we link our support for our partner groups in the South with public awareness building vis-a-vis development issues in Germany.
