"The ICCS is a platform for expanding local civil activities to a more international stage. This is very important in a time when populism and nationalism grow not only in Europe, but globally too. To keep an open mind, to meet professionals and activists in this network – this is the biggest benefit of being a member of ICCS. To promote unity and cross boarders: national, professional, disciplinary, personal and natural ones. Proud to be a part of it!"

"The links to partner associations across Europe are very valuable to me. Exchanges with colleagues always help us to reflect on common challenges and to share our strategies for meeting them. One particularly rich source of interaction is the ICCS Klingenthal Colloquium that also allows us to interact with the major European institutions in a constructive and valuable way. "

"For IV, ICCS is our closest partner with whom we are delighted to collaborate. By joining hands, we create more and better opportunities for mutual inspiration and for exchanges between our members than we would by ourselves. That’s why we intend to continue our long-lasting partnership for many years to come! "
