International community of mothers and children from The Mama Vida Club in Vienna at Karlsplatz
European cooperation · Vienna, Austria

A grassroots community ready to connect across Europe.

The Mama Vida Club is a Vienna-based nonprofit organisation working directly with mothers, migrant women and international families through community learning, maternal wellbeing, psychosocial support, inclusive movement, peer connection and women’s empowerment.

We believe meaningful European cooperation begins with real people, trusted communities and practical experiences that can be shared, tested and developed together.

Who we are

European ideas need real communities.

The Mama Vida Club was created around a simple idea: mothers should not have to navigate motherhood, migration, isolation or major life changes alone.

Our community brings together women from different countries, languages and life experiences. Babies and children are welcome, and participation is designed around the realities of family life.

We create low-threshold spaces where mothers can meet, move, learn, exchange knowledge, strengthen confidence, access professional input and build meaningful social connections.

“Building the village every mother needs.”
Our work in Vienna

Community-based work, every week.

Our European cooperation grows from work that already exists locally. We do not create activities only for projects — projects can build on a community that is already active.

01

Maternal Wellbeing

Community support around pregnancy, postpartum, early motherhood, emotional wellbeing and prevention of social isolation.

02

Psychosocial Learning

Workshops, professional input, peer exchange and accessible learning opportunities that strengthen resilience and everyday confidence.

03

Migrant & International Mothers

Multilingual community-building, intercultural participation, integration, language exchange and practical social connection.

04

Movement & Healthy Lifestyles

Inclusive dance, gentle physical activity and joyful movement used as tools for confidence, wellbeing and connection.

05

Women’s Empowerment

Supporting mothers as whole women — with identities, skills, professional aspirations, creativity and leadership beyond caregiving.

06

Sustainability & Solidarity

Clothes and family-item exchanges, circular use of resources, low-waste community activities and mutual support between families.

Community in action

Not only participants. People who shape the community.

Mothers in Mama Vida do not simply receive activities. They participate, contribute, share cultures and knowledge, prepare meals, support each other and help create the community itself.

What we bring

From European concepts to local implementation.

Our strongest contribution is the connection between project ideas and real everyday community life in Austria.

Direct community access

We work directly with mothers, migrant women and international families in Vienna.

Participant recruitment

We can mobilise community channels for workshops, pilots, focus groups and learning activities.

Grassroots implementation

We can host and facilitate local activities, learning formats, community events and pilot programmes.

Multilingual outreach

Our community works across German, Spanish, English and multilingual international environments.

Participant feedback

We can contribute needs analysis, focus groups, testing, evaluation and authentic feedback from mothers.

Dissemination

Community networks, events, public activities, storytelling and awareness actions help project results reach real people.

Visibility matters

Community work can also change public conversations.

Some of our activities intentionally move beyond closed rooms and into public space. We use accessible, positive community actions to bring attention to the realities and needs of mothers.
