The European Exchange cooperates with NGOs in the new neighbour states of the European Union and thereby aims to strengthen the rule of law, social security and human rights protection throughout Europe.

Current activities focus on Belarus, Ukraine and the Southern Caucasus and include the secretariat of the Kyiv Dialogue, a nonpartisan and independent platform for deepening and developing the relations between Ukraine and Germany, and several programmes on civil society cooperation aiming at improving the mutual understanding and professional exchange between civil society actors in EU member states and in EU neighbour states.
