Our Projects & Initiatives

History of the Association

Our journey began under the name Alter Ego Events, through which we successfully organised a series of educational and charity events. As our work expanded into Western Europe and our mission grew in scope, the team recognised the need to evolve from a local initiative into a structured NGO. This transition led to the creation of Cornerstone EU, an Association dedicated to advancing education and empowering youth across Europe.

While all of our past activities were carried out under the banner of Alter Ego Events, Cornerstone EU now represents the continuation and expansion of that mission on a broader and more sustainable scale.
