EGTYF
'''ACTIVE''' (formerly ''EGTYF, European Good Templar Youth Federation'') is a [[non-governmental organisation|non-governmental]] [[umbrella organisation]] gathering European youth [[temperance movement|temperance]] organisations. It has the status as the regional youth council of [[IOGT International]].

The main aim of Active is peace and tolerance in the world. They consider [[alcohol]] and other [[Psychoactive drug|drugs]] one of the main reasons of [[violence]] and conflicts among people 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 alcohol and/or other drugs, as is commonly believed around the world today.

Active provides the space for self-realisation, for making new contacts, for exchange projects, education and much more and is a support for each national organisation in reaching the main common goal - peace and human dignity.
