The activities of our organization are based on the approaches of non-formal education, experiential and intercultural learning, social inclusion and active participation. The activities include but are not limited to: networking and cooperation; educational projects of different types (e.g. training courses, seminars etc); awareness-raising and policy development; capacity building of youth organisations and organisations/institutions working with young people and youth workers; coaching of initiatives, organisational and individual coaching; personal and professional development; mobility. “European Integration Group” collaborates with other European NGOs and international organizations and helping others host activities in a number of countries, promote cultural diversity and contribute to the positive social changes in the European continent. Voting is the only form of participation in which each citizen has an equal say (one person, one vote). By voting, youth have the same ability as others to exercise political influence or pressure. EIG takes the first step in that direction by documenting the scope and pervasiveness of the problem internationally, exploring its causes, and identifying possible solutions in the form of innovative ideas and concrete programmes to raise youth interest and participation. We are managing and cooperating projects under the Erasmus+ Programme.
a) We work especially for the mobility of youth workers and young people.
b) We give opportunities to young people in higher education to take on an internship in another European country.
c) We provide opportunities for vocational students and staff to undertake traineeships abroad.
d) We also work closely with adults in terms of their digitalization and closing gap between the generations.
Digital competences are necessary for all aspects of life, whether they are social or personal, relate to labour or leisure, in any sector, public or private. Improved citizenship is the primary aim of developing digital competences. It is our conviction that the education and training on digital competencies need a more consistent approach and a cohesive European system of delivery. That is why we are supporting Adults to gain digital skills for a valuable future.

We focus to support Adults that have an insufficient level of digital skills. That means that they’re having less chances to find work, to use online services, to have a better quality of life, to be included in today’s society. We empower our member organisations representing non-formal education providers to support millions of Adults to succeed in the digital transformation by providing them with training and advice. We believe that every adult should be able to exploit the benefits and opportunities created by digital transformation.
Our well-experienced trainers organize training for every target groups about non-formal education, European integration, active citizenship, volunteer opportunities, democracy etc. Furthermore, the volunteers of the group organisation have participated in different Erasmus+ projects abroad (in Romania, Greece, Spain, Italy, etc.) that we're aiming to increase people tolerance towards different minority groups.

We are Host Entrepreneur under the programe: Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs and we have been hosted over 5 entrepreneurs from different countries, established partnerships and collaborations throughout the years. Our main activities have been related to social entrepreneurship, innovation, social inclusion, environment protection etc.

AYAM's main project was the establishment of the Montenegro Youth Orchestra. After that, the organization established the Festival of Young Artists 19 in which it combined in a contemporary repertoire: theater, music, fine arts, as well as lectures on the subject of arts and culture among young people.
The Association of Young artists of Montenegro is currently working on an intercultural exchange project with the Montenegro Youth Orchestra.

Over the years, Environmental Quality International (EQI) has grown to reflect both the diversification and the expansion of its focus areas. EQI's extensive engagement in the sustainable development of Siwa Oasis spurred the establishment of two subsidiaries: EQI-Siwa and Siwa Creations. These companies manage our social investments in the Oasis, including artisinal food and handcrafted home accessories and textiles from Siwa, and manage our two lodges: Shali Lodge and Albabenshal Heritage Hotel. Environmental Quality for Touristic Investment (EQTI), was established to operate our luxury Siwa ecolodge Adrère Amellal. Finally, EQI for Small and Medium Enterprise Development (EQI-SME), was established to provide greater focus on our microfinance initiatives and to manage distinctive socio-economic development initiatives. Together, these companies represent the EQI group of companies, fulfilling our vision of sustainable and inclusive social and economic development.

All our main activities aspire to link people with different backgrounds yet with common interests to meet for a coffee (in Swedish fika), dinner or online.

We create friendship that leads to: 97 % of the new Swedes feel more or much more welcome in Sweden after a dinner, 95 % of all our participants feel that they have learned something new about another culture, and 28 % of the participants who were jobseekers got a job or internship with the help of their new friend.

Etz Hayyim’s founding director defined it as a “place of prayer, recollection and reconciliation.” The site functions as an inclusive religious space, a historic site, a venue for cultural events and a research and educational institution. Activities include inter-religious/inter-faith projects, concerts, readings and lectures reflecting the Eastern Mediterranean heritage, guided tours for about 30,000 visitors every year, and exhibitions on intercultural themes and (Cretan) Jewish history, as well as lectures for the general public and seminars for local schools.
Two examples of our most recent projects illustrate how Etz Hayyim explores and adds an alternative voice to the understanding of the history and present-day society of Hania and Greece:
In October 2019, Etz Hayyim hosted the exhibition “Parallel Points of View” as part of the EU program Heritage Contact Zone (HCZ) project. The exhibition (https://heritagecontactzone.com/hania) presented ten alternative perspectives on the history and society of Crete ranging from the mediaeval Emirate of Crete, the Ottoman period and today’s Muslim presence to Romaniote and Sephardi Jewish views, and a women’s perspective along with views from the Roma, LGBTQ+, expatriate and refugee communities. The exhibition was co-created by a curating artist in participatory workshops with local residents representing those groups.
In January 2021, Etz Hayyim published a map for a walking tour through the historic Jewish quarter of Hania (in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we added an online virtual tour version of the walking tour: http://www.etz-hayyim-hania.org/the-jews-of-crete/hania-jewish-quarter-…). The map gives new, more tangible meaning to the name “Evraïkí”, which is still applied today to the area around Etz Hayyim Synagogue, and is used in everyday parlance, albeit with erased, or very little, meaning or connotation for locals. There is no memory of what life in this centuries-old Jewish neighborhood was like, or a sense of what the historic quarter could mean for today’s Hania. In keeping with the participatory character of the HCZ project, we added an interactive element to the Evraiki map: the “Mapping Hania” project invites the wider public to share their personal mental map of the city and will eventually create a multilayered mosaic of personal maps of the town and potentially start a conversation of what we do, could or maybe should not miss to see.

The association also works to strengthen the relationships between Tunisian and Euro-Mediterranean youth through:
+ The establishment of youth exchange programmes and travels.
+ The enhancing of Voluntarism.
+ The planning and organization of cultural youth events on the national and international level.
