AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
Danube-Networkers
Around 100 civil society institutions, universities and schools connected across the Danube Region.
The informal international educational network “Danube-Networkers“ was founded in 2008 in Ulm as part of the International Danube Festival Ulm/Neu-Ulm 2008 in the Danube Region. It currently involves around 100 civil society institutions from the fields of education, culture, social affairs, and the environment, as well as universities and schools.
Main aim is to overcome mental and emotional barriers between Danube neighbours, as well as to foster awareness of a common, peaceful, and solidaristic Europe. Many international projects, qualifications and initiatives have been realized — until 2012 under the leadership of ZAWiW, Ulm University, and since 2013 under the guidance of ILEU e.V.
