ABOUT US

“Europeans United for Informed Action” (EUforIA) is an independent, non-profit youth organization initiated by students from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. Founded in 2007, EUforIA is a non-profit association under Swiss law and now registered as an international NGO at the “Chancellerie d’Etat” of the Canton of Geneva. Our main goals are to increase awareness of global challenges among young people and to inspire YOUth to become active in your local community.

By means of our events, we want to offer already active (young) global change makers a platform to showcase their innovative and constructive solutions to an audience of interested young people like you and me. Providing YOUth with encouraging information about possible personal commitments and introducing YOUth to impressive examples set by other young people, we hope to show YOUth that your contribution matters. And discussing with other like-minded young people of your age which forms of engagement seem the most reasonable to you, we hope to offer you the last incentive to overcome the paralyzing feeling of powerlessness and despair injected by standard mass media reports about our world in order to BECOME ACTIVE.

Our basic goal is to prove to YOUth that your personal committment matters.

That is to say, we want to provide an ultimate impulse for YOUth who is already interested in world affairs to finally overcome your passive attitude and step up to the challenge to become active. We think that our generation should start considering itself as part of the solution. We live here and now and not in a distant future. Hence, we need to be conducive to the solution of global problems of today and tomorrow! Starting today, starting with you!
