ACTIVE is member of the [[European Youth Forum|Youth Forum Jeunesse]] and cooperates with [[IOGT International]].

The main aim of Active is peace and tolerance in the world.  Active considers [[alcohol]] and other [[Psychoactive drug|drugs]] one of the main reasons for [[violence]] and conflicts in today's world and therefore members of Active promote a drug-free lifestyle by their own [[abstinence]]--—to prove that having fun, making friends, and being free is possible without getting addicted and without any risk of hurting somebody or being hurt.
 
Active provides the space for self-realisation, for making new contacts, for exchange projects, education and for being active on political level in order to make a difference. Active is a support for each national organisation in reaching the main common goal--—peace and human dignity.

==Activities==
