About F.A.C.K. e.V.

FACK is a grassroots NGO, emerging from the rural part of eastern Germany. This youth-run organization aims for the activation of young people to become self-determined young creators of civil society and their environment. During their rise the activists at FACK learned that people trying to change their environment are the core-source and the power-house of democratic society’s. So, the self-proclaimed FACKers are out to activate young people and creating self-sustainable environments of individual progress.
