CHANGEmaker Network

1. By young people, for young people
euforia’s activities are designed by young people for young people to give them the opportunity to be actively involved in their development.
2. Informed action
The goal of euforia’s activities is to inform and make young people more sensitive to global challenges and to encourage them to become active themselves. Thus the organization stimulates glocal commitment, because it communicates to the young in a positive way on how they can make a difference to their own environment.
3. Social entrepreneurship
euforia is based on the principles of social entrepreneurship with the goal of developing activities that are efficient and have a big impact at the same time. Its principles consist of the elaboration of innovative and practicable solutions to social problems using sustainable business models and professional management tools. The actual impact of these activities is constantly determined and evaluated.
4. Environmental awareness
Euforia’s activities are consistent with the vision of conveying to young people the importance of a responsible lifestyle: all food is biological, vegetarian and fair trade. All paper is recycling paper or has the FSC--‐label. Materials are reused to the best extent and waste is limited.
5. Think global --‐ act local
With regard to the global challenges we face today, euforia encourages LOCAL commitment because we are convinced that only in the sense of responsibility of everyone lay the foundations of sustainable development.
6. Impartiality and diversity
euforia is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan, nonreligious, impartial and pluralistic organization that advocates the best possible integration of different points of view in accordance with mutual respect for otherness.
7. Posting rules

By signing up to the CHANGEmaker network you do not enter any commitment. The network is based on a solidary approach which means that everyone decides him or herself how much to contribute in terms of money and time investment. Note, however, that the network lives from its members and their contributions. If there is no contribution there will be no lively network.
