Welcome to NADEUM-WIKO
Welcome to the new website of NADEUM-WIKO – Implementing Sustainable Thinking through Knowledge Communication.
NADEUM-WIKO is an independent, non-profit initiative that has been working since 2015 on sustainable development, education, knowledge transfer and future-oriented social structures – with a particular focus on Africa and international dialogue.
Why NADEUM-WIKO?
The original name of the association, NADEUM, stands for Nachhaltiges Denken Umsetzen (Implementing Sustainable Thinking). As part of a content and digital reorientation, the name was deliberately expanded to:
NADEUM-WIKO – Implementing Sustainable Thinking through Knowledge Communication
This addition emphasises that sustainable action is not possible without knowledge transfer, education and open communication.
Our five guiding principles:
- Sustainability
- Thinking
- Implementation
- Knowledge
- Communication
The first three terms form the basis of NADEUM, while knowledge and communication reflect our current orientation and focus on education and dialogue.
Note regarding the new web address
As part of an internal restructuring process, the Executive Board has decided to revamp our web and email presence and to operate under NADEUM-WIKO in future.
This step was necessary because reliable access to previous domains could no longer be guaranteed for organisational reasons. New domains have been registered to ensure operational capability and independence.
Our current main domains:
- nadeum-wiko.eu
- nadeum-wiko.at
- nadeum-wiko.com
All domains redirect centrally to nadeum-wiko.eu. We recommend that members, partners and interested parties use only this address in future.
Our work – Thematic priorities
NADEUM-WIKO works on a project basis. Our main areas of focus include:
- Education & knowledge transfer: International education models, qualification systems and exchange programmes (e.g. ACAPMUSSC-MYC, ERASMUS-related concepts)
- Social skills & personal responsibility: Training programmes in cooperation with African partner organisations (e.g. GAFÉIAS)
- Sustainability & environment: Circular economy, plastic waste recycling, sustainable industrial approaches (pilot projects in Kenya, among other places)
- Peace and development roadmaps: Dialogue-based, state-independent concepts for stabilisation and future planning in various regions of the world
- Certification & transparency: Development of a sustainability transparency certificate (NTZ)
In addition, there are ongoing open project positions for new ideas and initiatives.
Invitation to engage in dialogue
NADEUM-WIKO sees itself as a platform for people who think long-term, take responsibility and are willing to break new ground – regardless of political, religious or economic interests.
