MUNA+ is run by a voluntary Management Board, whose members are elected every two years by the general member assembly. The main task of the board is to ensure that all activities of the association comply with laws and regulations and that MUNA+ operates in a financially stable manner. In addition, the Board sets medium and long-term strategies and promotes and manages key projects. We are particularly pleased that two of the founders are still part of the board. Thus, the MUNA+ DNA is still strongly present in the daily decisions.
Our values are what shape daily decisions at MUNA+.
We believe that we are better togehter. That’s why we want to work together and share experiences, knowledge and skills. We are open to all kinds of feedback and input, and every idea expressed is given equal consideration.
Sustainability in all dimensions – economic, environmental and social – is at the heart of the MUNA+ identity. It is what we want to achieve externally in the world, but also internally. We pay attention to physical and mental health and are committed to sustainable choices.
MUNA+ is meant to be a place to try new things and acquire new skills. It’s a safe place to take risks, grow personally and collectively, and expand your horizons. We love to share skills and empower others.
We have no tolerance for discrimination of any kind and adhere to the Declaration of Human Rights. We treat each other with respect and open-mindedness. Everyone who shares this attitude is warmly welcome at MUNA+!
