HANSE Guild

The HANSE Guild advises and supports the city group DIE HANSE in its activities and projects, and also initiates its own projects. In general, members of the HANSE Guild are people who have shown particular commitment to the HANSE in the course of their previous professional or honorary activities, and who continue to contribute their experience to the work of the city group as members of the Guild.

The HANSE Guild was set up by a resolution of the Assembly in 2004, and since then it has been a permanent part of the HANSE.

The purpose of the HANSE is to contribute to the economic, cultural, social and national unity of Europe, and to enhance the self-awareness of the cities and municipalities, so that they can play their part as a place of living democracy.

The HANSE Guild supports the HANSE in fulfilment of its objectives, and has taken on the following tasks:

• Active support of the HANSE events at regional, inter-regional and international level
• Conduct of meetings in the form of regional HANSE Conventions, e.g. the Westphalian HANSE Convention, other HANSE events and in particular international HANSE Conventions
• Supporting and conducting campaigns to promote the concept of the HANSE among the general public
• Promotion of exchange of culture and traditions, strengthening economic and trading contacts, and enhancing exchange of knowledge, social viewpoints and information
• Conduct and support of individual HANSE projects.
