Nachbarn in Übersee
Every year, Neighbours Overseas sends two students from the universities in Graz, Austria, to Montclair State University in the USA, and two students from the university there come to Graz. Since the founding of the association and the beginning of the exchange activities in 1950, hundreds of students have been able to participate in this rewarding, horizon-widening and formative educational experience, thereby broadening their understanding of the culture and people of the other country.

Zukunft(er-)leben
Our organisation acts as a platform and Think Tank for sustainable regional development and an eco-social market economy. It is our goal to bring organisations, companies, associations, politicians and private persons together and to develop a common vision for our region. It is our concern to use knowledge and capability as effectively as possible and to make sure that everyone is working together. Now is the time to take responsibility for our life and that of our children and grandchildren and to rethink our relation to the world. Cooperation is definitely the only basis for being able to live intergenerational justice and sustainable development. Growing awareness for this topic and the will for profound change have become more noticeable. Under the motto “Think global, act local” we would like to work on these issues and shape our future positive and independently. If you feel the same, let us share part of the journey and make our region a place worth living.
