About
Aim
Transferring policy theory into hands-on practice in modern society is at the core of our consultancy. As a service provider, the Cares Project strives to deliver highest quality output to respond suitably to our clients’ needs. An informed contribution to the evolution of smart policy just like its case-specific implementation is our objective.
Services
PolitiCares and SportCares offer consultancy services in political affairs and sport policy. Our focus areas are sustainability and human rights. Based on thorough policy analysis, we identify the needs of all of our clients in an open and trustful environment.
Origins
The Cares Project (PolitiCares and SportCares) was first established as a consultancy service provider in 2009. Our services are based on in-depth experience in the international and German policy arenas. They are rooted in the conviction that we need a world that cares.
