General Information
The ‘Centre for Christian-Islamic Encounter in the Archdiocese of Vienna’ is an integral part of the Austrian Catholic Church. This ensures a permanent and close contact with all departments of the archdiocese of Vienna. The Centre is run by Dean Fr. Martin Rupprecht, his secretary and his Muslim assistant and supported by a large pool of volunteers. Within the archdiocese the team is working on activities in the context of Christian-Islamic dialogue and is counseling the Viennese Archbishop, Dr. Christoph Cardinal Schönborn.
Mission and Objectives

Particular objectives:
* to establish a network between Catholic and Islamic institutions and organizations in Vienna
* to enable and attend encounter on all levels
* to provide education and retraining
* to cooperate with all international initiatives concerning the Christian-Islamic dialogue taking place in Vienna
* to assure consulting in the context of Christian-Islamic relationships and attendance of interfaith marriages.
The ‘Centre for Christian-Islamic Encounter’ is involved in the following activities:
- training of Turkish Imams coming to Austria
- annual Austrian-Indonesian Dialogue Symposiums in Vienna
- cooperation with the ‘Liechtenstein Institute on Self Determination at Princeton University’
- networking with the German Bishops´ Conference CIBEDO (Christian-Islamic Encounter and Documentation); with Institutions of Islamic and Christian organizations in Turkey; with the federation of European Islam-commissioners of the different Christian Churches “Journee d´Arras” and with the “Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue” at the Vatican.

Main Projects / Activities

Currently we are preparing an exchange of lecturers of Vienna’s Catholic Theology Faculty and Islamic Theology Faculties in Ankara, Canakkale and Istanbul /Turkey in cooperation with the European Erasmus Program.
Another project we are currently working on is the compilation of a new science magazine, “Vindobona”. In cooperation with Turkish students, graduated from the University in Vienna, we are composing scientific articles in Turkish language to give an understanding of scientific topics being taught in Vienna to the academic public in Austria, Germany and Turkey. This contributes not only to scientific interchange, but also to international understanding and conciliation.

General Information
Centropa is a Jewish history institute with offices in Vienna and Budapest. We have six full time and eight part time employees. Our annual budget is less than €1.000.000 per year, and the majority of funding comes from family foundations around the world as well as federal ministries in Germany, Austria, Spain, Czech Republic and Hungary. We hold international teacher seminars each summer and work to build bridges between Jews and non Jews, Americans and Europeans. We work closely with Jewish museums, pedagogical institutes and education ministries in seven countries.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission consists of two parts: to use advanced technologies to capture Jewish memory, and then disseminate our projects to the widest audiences possible. Our goal is to create a project that is less about how Jews perished during the Holocaust, but is much more about how they lived--before, during and after. The concept: to create a digital bridge back to a world that you and I can no longer physically visit, but is one that lives on in the stories and old photographs of elderly Jews still living in fifteen European countries. Since few Jewish families remain in Bulgaria, Bosnia, Serbia and Greece, we emphasize our Balkan projects, and also work inside the Jewish community of Turkey.

Main Projects / Activities

Although we interviewed 1,300 elderly Jews, we did not use video in these interviews nor did we focus on the Holocaust. Instead, we collected 25,000 old family pictures, digitized them and set them into a searchable online database. We are now creating an innovative, online educational program that relies on short multi media films, followed by online study guides. We bring teachers from various backgrounds and countries together to watch these films in small groups, then work with other teachers to help them implement the programs in their classes.

Community Conflict Transformation Through Youth Work

The "Community Conflict Transformation Through Youth Work" was an international training course organized by EMOTIC for youth workers from Austria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, France as well as Tunisia and Algeria. It was funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union and further supported by the ALFinMOTION program. This project offered an intercultural learning opportunity for 30 youth workers between 20-35 years. This training course was held in Vienna from 11 to 18 August 2023. Through an interpersonal interactive mobility experience, this training equiped participants with advanced conflict analysis tools and conflict transformation strategies that can be applied on the local level to combat social conflicts such as racism, discrimination, marginalisation, inequality, and different acts of cultural and institutional violence.
