Perpetuum Mobility e. V. promotes Sustainability on Norderney

About Us

Perpetuum Mobility

Perpetuum Mobility is a new youth organisation founded on Norderney in Northern Germany. We are focusing on promoting sustainability and environmental protection while empowering the youth both locally and internationally. The name arose from the latin term ‘perpetuum mobile’, which describes a construct that, once initiated, is moving constantly without the need of an external source of energy.

This construct very well fits the organisation’s mentality, which wants to enable and facilitate the change towards a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable environment. Combined with mobility, which refers to multiple topics such as mobility of individuals, urbanisation and technical innovations, it is the basis for positive future developments.

There is an evolution of mobility that opens new opportunities to connect, exchange and create. Our aim is to develop and to use the combined potential of an intercultural generation to promote a sustainable way of living.

Our Objectives

Life in Europe, especially in Germany, is usually very much worth living. To make sure that this will also be the case in the future and that even more people can profit from it, we are advocating for sustainability on an economic, ecological and social level.

To achieve that, we are promoting awareness, reflected thinking and acting proactively. Toward both the environment and other people.

We are convinced that we can only master the great challenges of the future together. This is where we start.

Climate change and environmental pollution are what everyone is talking about currently. Nevertheless, these topics are still not tangible enough for many people, because they expect the consequences to only occur in places far away or in the future. Which causes them to underestimate them.

We want to make clear that everyone can contribute to protect the earth a little bit better. In doing so, we do not want to dictate or prohibit anything. We rather want to develop solutions for a better future together.

We are living a hands-on mentality. We are taking the first step and go from there.

Europe is offering us endless possibilities. However, it still faces many big challenges. That is why it is important to take on these challenges together.

We want to promote young people’s international mobility and enable them to experience something new, acquire knowledge and learn new skills. We want to give them the chance to reach their potential and realize their ideas.

In our international projects, we want to motivate young people to broaden their minds and understand diversity as enrichment.

Our Approach

You already read dozens of articles about sustainable life and still don’t really know how to implement the ideas for your own? Then we are the perfect match for you. At our local events it is all about one thing: ACTION.

Besides classical clean-ups, we are doing workshops and projects in which we will show you simple steps that help you make an impact. And how to take these steps.

Look, what’s coming up

Why internationality is important to us? It’s simple: there is no other setting in which you can learn more about yourself, your goals and how to achieve them. Furthermore, you can learn to think outside the box. In other countries, you often discover solutions to problems that exist in your own country. We utilize the collective international knowledge to make our world more sustainable in the long run. Additionally, it makes a whole lot of fun.

An example: In October 2019, 40 young people from eight different countries came together in Romania to exchange ideas and talk about “Sustainable Consumption”. In addition to practical activities, the participants learned about different cultures, reduced prejudices and developed new friendships.
