The German word “grenzenlos” means “no boundaries” and also “no limits”. The word explains the basic mission of Grenzenlos: to promote the personal development of individuals (no limits) and intercultural understanding through international encounters, trainings, intercultural living and work experience (no boundaries). We are a small team of about 13 staff members plus one ESC volunteer per year. Our office is located in Vienna, Austria.
