We are an Austrian non-profit Organisation established in 2015, supports literature, art, culture, as well as humanitarian, intellectual, and environmental activities, and helps establish these activities among different cultures to support creative ideas in these fields. Our work starts from Vienna/Austria and takes place worldwide from East to West, without any racial, religious, or national privileges, with open hands for all creative ideas that work towards improving collaboration, promoting better acceptance, ethical values, and respect for others. Our aim is to spread freedom and its teachings, and to eliminate racial restrictions, religious discrimination, terrorism, and bigotry
