LSA – Lion and Sun Association

The association's vision

We bring generations together, strengthen people and build bridges between roots, society and the future. Lion and Sun Association (LSA) is a democratic meeting place for community, integration and hope for the future, open to everyone regardless of political or religious background.

We work in society based on the needs and identity of our members, including in the field of integration.

What we are

We are an association working for integration through democratic engagement. By offering a meeting place we create networks in both career and mentorship — and bring younger and senior generations together. Culture and identity are the foundation of the community we build.

What we do

We work with activities, mentorship and knowledge sharing that strengthen both the individual and society. Through social gatherings, seminars and network building we create routes into civic life, working life and democratic engagement, and bring generations together through shared activities.

What can you contribute?

You do not have to be a member to get involved. Join one of our gatherings and see how you can contribute — as a mentor, volunteer, partner, sponsor or through donations. If you want to get involved more deeply, membership is the way there.

Symbol

The Sun

Warmth, energy and a shared sky. The symbol should hold people of different political, religious and cultural backgrounds.

The Lion

Courage, dignity and the strength to grow. The next generation should be supported to become secure, independent and civically engaged.

The Bridge

Connects generations, experience and opportunity. From isolation to community, from talent to a real chance.
