The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is related to the Christian Democratic movement. Having emerged from the 'Society for Christian Democratic Education Work' founded in 1956, it was named after the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic in 1964. We are guided by the same principles that inspired Adenauer's work.

Through our work we want to promote the following values:  European understanding build through active dealing with the history of resistance and opposition in the 20th century; Individual sense of responsibility as the foundation for a democratic European civil society; Ethical orientation to universal human rights; inclusion and involvement of people from different social, national and ethnic backgrounds, despite age, gender, political and religious beliefs, sexual orientation and constraints; Our educational approach is characterised by orientation to action, learning by experience and debating important political and social issues of our times. Kreisau-Initiative is an important German partner of the Krzyżowa Foundation and a creative mind in the Krzyżowa network. We want to keep on being a vivid nongovernmental organisation, one that people from all over Germany get involved with. Furthermore, we want to deepen and broaden the connections of Krzyżowa with the civil society in Germany and Europe, introduce Kreisau-Initiative to a broader public and win over decision makers to help the realisation of our ideas. We conduct our projects in close cooperation with the Krzyżowa Foundation and develop them continuously in both programme and methodology aspects. We are a reliable partner for donors and cooperating institutions as well as a recognised educational institution for innovative projects in Germany and Europe, especially for inviting to our projects participants that have been underrepresented in international exchange programmes.

The MIB's objective is to conduct pluri-disciplinary research on the Mediterranean Area in the fields of transformation processes, migration and mobility, energy and environment. The MIB's scientific approach is based on the idea to link Area Studies with the discipline of International Relations, and to link political science with political sociology in order to contribute to the interdisciplinary dynamics in the field of social sciences. Besides fundamental research, the MIB also conducts policy and action oriented research.

The basic principle of this network is that research focused on the acquisition and application of shared European and Mediterranean knowledge is the fundamental driving force of social and economic development in the Euro Mediterranean region, and that the intercultural dialogue issue is the most critical one for the consolidation of this geographical region. On such grounds, this network intends to set out the theoretical and practical bases for constructing an area of mutual recognition of the different European and Mediterranean cultures.

WCRN transfers media based education to marginalized children. We see that the Right of Children Declaration does explicitly demand the support of international exchange between children, to enable them to inform themselves and to have access to child-friendly media is NOT fulfilled, not in one single country worldwide. Non-profit, educational and advertising-free media for children by children is not a “nice-to-have”. It is a must – and should therefore be well-established and sustainably financed by national governments, municipality and international organizations to end the constant violation of UN Children's Rights.

StreetGriot Media Education offers courses and workshops in which youths find support for their creativity, autonomy, and courage to explore their own ideas. In our projects we create intercultural learning environments in which youths can pursue questions that are of importance to them. Children and youths in our projects work on topics that contribute to their understanding of who they are and the world in which they live, such as turning points in their lives, or political and social structures whose effects they experience in their daily lives. The basic principles of our curriculum are relevance to youths’ lives, active participation, and process orientation. In our projects we create space for applied and academic learning, for emotional and social development, and for youths’positive self-images and the assumption of responsibility on their way to adulthood. Video technology and digital media are our tools: Youths create their own film projects: they decide on and research content, acquire the necessary technological skills, and artistically express their ideas in the medium of film. They use the internet to research information on their film topics and make public interviews that they conduct in their own communities. They also use webquest learning environments designed by us to reflect on political and emotional topics such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Interculturality is a central theme of our times. The close proximity and coexistence of people from different cultures in a shared territory is what distinguishes modern societies; the problems and conflicts arising from this are on the agenda in both national and international politics. Close to 100 social scientists and other academics at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz are carrying out interdisciplinary research under the auspices of the Center for Intercultural Studies in various projects. The researchers are analyzing the changes in living conditions that result from emigration/immigration and are investigating the connections between science, politics, and ethnic minorities. In addition to this research, the Center for Intercultural Studies is active in making the various specializations of these focal research units public – in particular in the form of interdisciplinary events, continuous teacher training, guest lectureships, visiting professorships, and project presentations. One of the Center's main concerns is to find access to the public arena. It collaborates widely with partners in politics and the economy, culture, and society. In previous years, the Center has promoted more than sixty conferences, financed more than a dozen guest professorships and put on numerous public events with literary figures, artists and musicians in collaboration with cultural organizations, particularly here in Mainz. The Center endeavors to promote intercultural skills across cultures and to create suitable tools to make intercultural expertise available to its relevant practitioners.
