That very first session brought together over 100 young Europeans and Americans – including veterans of the French resistance, survivors of Nazi concentration camps, prisoners of war, and former enemies. They met at Schloss Leopoldskron, an Austrian palace that had been occupied by the Nazis in a country that was still under Allied military occupation. They wrestled with how diverse and fractured groups of people could come together and start creating the conditions for peace in the aftermath of World War II.
More than seventy-five years later, the challenges may be different, but our mission still carries that same founding spirit: to overcome barriers and open up a world of better possibilities. They are supported by a combination of institutional partnerships, generous individual donations and revenue generated from our social enterprise, Schloss Leopoldskron. They seek to be an exemplary international institution in terms of equity and environmental sustainability. They strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply and join them in their work.
