The Netzkraft Movement is a cross- thematic and international network of people and groups that come from Germany and are socially committed. This engagement can be social, political, ecological or spiritual. The movement, which has more than 3,600 member organizations, provides the organizational possibilities for exchanging its members. Since 2009, the Netzkraft Movement has had an entry in the Yearbook of International Organizations , published by the Union of International Associations (UIA), a research institute and documentation center based in Brussels.
history
The movement was developed from 1990 to 1995 as part of a research project by the Institute for Systemic Research in Xanten . The sponsor is the Social Psychiatric Initiative Xanten (Spix eV), a non-profit association that runs the institute. The institute's research projects explore and test networking opportunities. Something new should not be created through a new institution or organization, but rather through exchange and mutual support between existing institutions or groups. Since 1995 the institute in Xanten has been running and maintaining the Netzkraftbewegung website as a worldwide network of non-profit organizations.
The decentralized, autonomous concept
The Netzkraft movement is based on the willingness to get to know other network participants and to support them if possible: the principle of solidarity . The network participants remain autonomous, they decide for themselves when and to what extent they are looking for partners for exchange and cooperation via the network. Once a year the institute sends a letter to all network participants. Further activities of the network originate solely from the network participants.
Basic consensus
The basic consensus comprises three common global goals of the Netzkraft Movement, which are binding for all network participants:
- International body for peace, human rights and the environment within the United Nations
- Sustainable eco-social economic development
- Decentralization of political power with regional self-determination
Subject areas

target
The aim is an international and cross-thematic networking of socially engaged groups that complement, support and gain social influence through a common network. Contacts with one another and mutual support should strengthen the success of the individual network participants. As an international network, the Netzkraft movement advocates global goals: for a strengthening of the United Nations, sustainable environmental development and decentralized political decisions.
