about ourselves

update: 8/7/2004

Most important fields of work

Our initiative is most of all committed in the following spheres:
 

	Commemorative work  (e.g. concerning the former concentration camp in Gunskirchen  or Jewish citizens of Wels)
	Activities against right-wing extremism and xenophobia
	Activities for the rights and integration of foreigners
	Youth work   (e.g. Wels Model)
	Humanitarian activities  (e.g. baby food for children of Bosnian refugees)

Our activities include a wide range from torchlight processions to workshops on right-wing computer games, from a donation activity for the bereaved family of the victim of an arson attack to the special performance of the movie Schindler's List , from drama performances to brochures on right-wing extremism.
