PROMOTE KNOWLEDGE. ACCOMPANY CHANGE. STRENGTHEN RESPONSIBILITY.

The LAZARUS UNION ACADEMY is launching a new, forward-looking project: the publication of the book series “KNOWLEDGE. CHANGE. RESPONSIBILITY“ – an inspiring format that focuses on current knowledge, social developments and global challenges. We cordially invite you to support this special initiative as a “book patron” – and thus become part of a movement that combines education, awareness and international responsibility.

The Lazarus Union – a Vienna-based, globally active non-governmental organisation (NGO) – holds General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECO-SOC). Its international recognition, underlined by its nomination for the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize, makes it a credible voice in the global discourse. In close connection with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, the Lazarus Union Academy sees itself as a place of enlightenment, interdisciplinary exchange and social co-design.

The book series “KNOWLEDGE. CHANGE. RESPONSIBILITY.” deals with topics from the areas of SDGs, Agenda 2030, resilience and culture and international cooperation – well-founded, easy to grasp and with the aim of stimulating thought and action. It is aimed at people who want to take responsibility, help shape social change and contribute to a better world.

As a book patron, you not only enable the realisation of these valuable publications but also set an example for the importance of education and critical discourse in a world in upheaval. Your support helps to make this knowledge accessible far beyond the Academy – for learners, teachers, interested parties and decision-makers worldwide.

Become part of this important project. As a book patron, support a series that is more than just paper – it is a contribution to awareness-raising, international understanding and a shared path to a responsible future.
