Club Alpbach Senza Confini Welcomes New Scholarship Holders and Awards Honorary Membership

June 27, 2026 | Klagenfurt

Club Alpbach Senza Confini officially welcomed its newest scholarship holders during a ceremony at the Spiegelsaal in Klagenfurt. The event brought together scholarship holders, sponsors, partners, and members of our community to celebrate the next generation of young people joining the Senza Confini network.

A special highlight of the ceremony was the participation of Gaby Schaunig, Deputy Governor of Carinthia. In recognition of her long-standing support for our club and her continued commitment to cross-border cooperation and the Alpe Adria spirit, we were proud to present her with an Honorary Membership in Club Alpbach Senza Confini.

The event also offered an opportunity to thank our sponsors, whose support enables young people from the Senza Confini region to participate in the European Forum Alpbach and become part of an international community committed to dialogue, exchange, and cooperation.

As Gaby Schaunig emphasized during the ceremony, the Senza Confini spirit is about how we live, learn, and grow together across borders. With our new scholarship holders officially welcomed, we now look forward to EFA26 and to experiencing this spirit together in Alpbach.

Christmas Party 2025

December 25, 2020 | Udine

This year members and friends of the CASC community gathered in Udine for our annual Christmas Party.

Over pasta and tiramisù, we took time to look back on an eventful year. 2025 brought many shared moments, new connections, and inspiring discussions across our community.

The evening was a chance to slow down, enjoy good food, and celebrate the people who make CASC what it is.

We are grateful for everyone who joined us to celebrate the people who make CASC what it is. It was the perfect way to close the year and head into the new one with fresh energy.

This year’s General Assembly took place at the offices of our sponsor Gasser+Partner in Klagenfurt.

Boiler Room 2024

June 28, 2024 | Zoo Club Klagenfurt | in collaboration with Kärnten Werbung

Our Boiler Room 2024 combined creativity, innovation, and loud music in a unique setting. In collaboration with Kärnten Werbung, members of the Club Alpbach Senza Confini brainstormed ideas on how to make the Alpe-Adria region more attractive to young tourists.

In this informal and energetic atmosphere, participants developed cross-border concepts and new tourism offers that aim to promote the region as a whole.

Update on our scholarships for EFA21

In 2021, things will remain different – both this year’s European Forum Alpbach and our scholarship program will need to adapt to the current circumstances. Therefore, we regret to announce that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the limited number of scholarship holders for EFA21, we are unable to accept new applications this year. Instead, we plan to send to EFA21 our scholarship holders from 2020, who could not attend the Forum on site.

We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause to you. We hope to receive many new applications next year, and to see you in our events throughout 2021!

Take care and stay safe,

The board of Club Alpbach Senza Confini
