About us

goals connect looks back on a history of over ten years. Originally founded as a framework for a charity tour of Africa , the association has developed enormously and found its focus in the promotion of education. The workshop and seminar offer focuses thereby the education for sustainable development (ESD). Thus, the focus at the social level in the areas of political education, human rights and diversity awareness. In the ecological context, environmental, resource and climate sensitivity as well as the intergenerational task behind it are thematized.. In voluntary work, we have so far been able to carry out more than 160 project days at schools on these socially relevant topics.Building on this, we continue to see an enormous need for sustainable educational approaches to bring necessary and opportunity-rich transformations on the way. More about goals & motivation is available here.

Our passion for the topics mixed with the great need among all generations have moved us to operate goals connect in the future not only on the side, but to intensify the work and put on even more professional feet.
