IofC in Kürze

Initiativen der Veränderung (Initiatives of Change/ IofC) ist eine internationale Bewegung von Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und Kultur, die sich für eine Veränderung der Gesellschaft einsetzen. Diese Veränderung beginnt bei jedem Einzelnen und basiert auf der Veränderung von Beweggründen und persönlichen Verhaltensweisen.

Wir setzen uns dafür ein, Menschen zu inspirieren, auszurüsten und miteinander in Kontakt zu bringen, um die Bedürfnisse dieser Welt in den Bereichen Vertrauensbildung, einer ethischen Führungskultur und einem zukunftsfähigen Lebensstil anzugehen. Dabei fängt Veränderung bei jedem Einzelnen an.
