What Eine Welt Netzwerk Thüringen e.V. (EWNT) does

Eine Welt Netzwerk Thüringen e.V. (EWNT) is a registered non-profit (eingetragener Verein) civil society network headquartered in Jena, Thuringia, Germany, founded in 2005 and operating with a core team of 11 employees. As one of approximately 16 designated state-level development policy networks that together form the national Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Landesnetzwerke (agl), EWNT serves as the statewide coordinator for global citizenship education, Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE), and One-World issues, aggregating civil society actors, schools, municipalities, and grassroots initiatives across Thuringia.

Its core activities are member-network coordination, educational programming in sustainable development, advisory and capacity-building services for member organizations, and project-based work executing publicly funded initiatives. The organization runs EU-funded projects (GEAR-UP!, DCYDE!) and maintains transnational cooperation partnerships — including with Hope Theatre Nairobi (Kenya), Südwind (Austria), Kopin (Malta), and ISCOMET (Slovenia) — alongside in-state collaboration with the Netzwerk Demokratiebildung Thüringen. EWNT holds the Thüringer Qualitätssiegel BNE, an explicit quality certification for Education for Sustainable Development.

EWNT's revenue model is that of a German eingetragener Verein: it does not sell a product or charge market prices, but instead receives institutional grants and project funding from public and philanthropic sources. Identified funders include the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) via Engagement Global, the Freistaat Thüringen, the European Union, Deutsche Postcode Lotterie, and Misereor. Service delivery occurs via convening (network meetings, e.g., Erfurt August 2026), training, project consortium participation, and transnational exchanges (e.g., the DCYDE! event in Poznań, July 2026).
