“It’s about the big picture: making democracy happen by participating”
DJHT, also referred to in German as ‘Deutscher Kinder- und Jugendhilfetag (DJHT)’ – the German Child and Youth Welfare Congress – is the biggest child and youth welfare summit in Europe. In 2025, its 18th edition will take place in Leipzig. Europe@DJHT is the European programme of the DJHT, which encourages exchange on current topics at European and international level, also with international guests. 32 European or international events will take place as part of the conference programme at the 18th DJHT.
The events in the Europe@DJHT conference programme will be held in English and/or German (with subtitles). The “European Marketplace” in the exhibition area brings together organisations whose work has a European or international focus. Further highlights will be the opening event (with subtitling in English) of the 18th DJHT as a whole, as well as the European opening event of Europe@DJHT entitled “Shaping the future: youth work in times of societal and political change”. Finally, for the first time at a DJHT, the closing event will have a European focus. It will be entitled „Beyond crisis: youth and democracy in Europe“. Last but not least, Europe@DJHT lives from the presence of European guests throughout the programme, including you! Your presence, your perspectives and your contributions will bring Europe to life at the 18th DJHT.
About the DJHT
Background and structure of the DJHT
The Child and Youth Welfare Association (AGJ) organises a DJHT every three to four years, with the first such event taking place in 1964. Attendance is free of charge. DJHT is the biggest meet-up of its kind in the child and youth welfare community and related fields of activity across Europe. Around 30,000 experts and other interested individuals from all over Germany and Europe attend this three-day event to exchange opinions and experiences, and to strengthen networks. The agenda features a wide range of events by researchers and practitioners representing many different perspectives, making the DJHT an ideal place for experts to learn and develop. Moreover, the DJHT provides an in-depth insight into current theoretical and practical debates in the child and youth welfare community and related fields of activity (such as health, school, law, employment, etc.). The audience is just as diverse attracting social workers, scouts, day-care teachers, outreach workers, youth welfare office directors, high-ranking Ministry representatives, policymakers, and researchers. DJHT is a fixture in the calendar for all experts, whether volunteers or full-time employees, who work with and for young people and their families. It makes a valuable contribution towards assisting children and young people in growing up successfully, while also helping the Child and Youth Welfare Community to develop and evolve.
DJHT comprises two complementary components, a conference and an exhibition space, each with their own multi-faceted, diverse, informative, and creative agendas.
Exhibition
A large number of organisations and institutions working in child and youth welfare, as well as other related fields of activity, do not just attend the DJHT, they also play an active role in shaping its agenda. Around 200 organisations and institutions participate as exhibitors, giving the many visitors and experts an in-depth insight into their valuable work. They contribute to and make use of the exhibition as a space for personal interaction that is ideal for networking, getting to know potential new staff, engaging in a dialogue among professionals, learning from each other’s experiences, and producing new ideas.
Please look here for organisations taking part in Europe@DJHT.
Conference
The agenda of the conference comprises around 200 events on a broad variety of themes, allowing professionals to acquire essential knowledge and benefit from valuable input. Participants can attend informative presentations and inspiring workshops and learn about compelling case studies and innovative concepts. They can also hear about new insights, methods, approaches, and debates at play in the research community and among practitioners. Our participants are warmly invited to join in on the debate and share their experience and expertise.
Europe@DJHT: The European dimension
In recent years, the DJHT has been extended to include a European dimension, called Europe@DJHT, to appeal to a broader and more international expert audience and encourage a more international debate on current issues and trends in the child and youth welfare field. The European programme is fully integrated in the DJHT conference and exhibition. It incorporates around 30 European or international events within the conference programme and other complementary activities around the exhibition and evening programme. Europe@DJHT is organised in cooperation between the Child and Youth Welfare Association (AGJ) and JUGEND für Europa, the National Agency for the EU programmes Erasmus+ Youth, Erasmus+ Sport, and European Solidarity Corps in Germany.
Motto of the 18th DJHT
The 18th edition of the DJHT is taking place from 13 to 15 May 2025 in Leipzig and bears the title ’It’s about the big picture: making democracy happen by participating’ (Weil es ums Ganze geht: Demokratie durch Teilhabe verwirklichen!). The crises of recent years and the present are calling into question many things that are taken for granted, exposing social conflicts or even fuelling them. Almost everything is being renegotiated in our societies. This has a direct impact on the lives of children and young people, on the structures for education and daycare, and on participation in society and democracy. DJHT offers a platform to discuss precisely this:
What demands does the current situation place on structures, professionals, and work content? Where does child and youth welfare stand, where does it want to go – and what does it have to offer?
For European participants, Europe@DJHT offers the opportunity to take part in and contribute to the discussions on those burning topics, combined with the unique possibility to dive into and gain deep insights into the German Child and Youth Welfare system and community.

Shaping the future: youth work in times of societal and political change Opening event of the European programme Europe@DJHT
Young people and societies are facing major transformation processes. What does this mean for youth work? The event will initiate discussions on opportunities and challenges to support all young people to participate, especially in these times.
The opening event of the European conference programme Europe@DJHT will discuss the major social transformations that young people and societies are facing today and what they mean for youth work.
How can youth work in Europe (continue to) support all young people to participate, especially in a context of digital transformation, increasing displacement and migration, climate change, and political and social polarisation?
- What is the vision (and practice) of the youth field for sustainable cooperation and communication for and with young people?
- What values are relevant in today's societies, and how can youth work contribute to living them?
- What should youth work practice and societies look like in the long term to be a healthy environment for young people and their future?
- How can youth work contribute to strengthening young people's political and social participation?
As part of an interactive panel discussion, representatives from politics, research, and practice will discuss and explore their respective perspectives on how youth work is influenced and affected by these processes and how the youth field in Europe supports and empowers young people to navigate these times of change. The opening event will set the scene for further events of the European programme, inviting participants to explore and discuss the four major societal transformation processes (digital transformation, displacement and migration, climate change, and social and political polarisation) and their implications for youth work in more depth. The event will also introduce Europe@DJHT as such and provide information about the wider European programme Europe@DJHT, with its various elements in the conference programme and exhibition space.
In addition to the speakers listed below, the following speakers will be involved in the panel discussion:
Andrij Pavlovych, SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre
Miriam Teuma, Agenzija Zghazagh, National Youth Agency Malta
Inés Lampe, City of Braunschweig, Department for Children, Youth and Family
Jessý Jónsdóttir, Advisory Council on Youth of the Council of Europe

Youth mobility in Europe – Results of current youth surveys
Various youth surveys on the mobility of young people in Europe will be carried out by the Eurodesk network in Europe in 2024. The results of the surveys will be exclusively presented and discussed in this lecture at the DJHT.
Various youth surveys on the mobility of young people in Europe will be carried out by the Eurodesk network in 2024.
On the one hand, the European Eurodesk network is conducting the Eurodesk Survey 2024/25, which captures the voices and opinions of young people from all over Europe. Every three years this survey context of youth information on learning mobility.
The Eurodesk Survey aims to gather the experiences and opinions of young people and adults from 13 to over 35 years old. It researches different aspects related to youth information and learning mobility, targeting both mobile and non-mobile youth. It looks at the experiences young people have when searching for mobility information, which sources they prefer and how they would like to be approached. It looks at the obstacles and benefits of learning mobility, and asks young people for suggestions of how youth information on mobility opportunities can improve.
On the other hand, Eurodesk Germany will launch a scientifically supported survey among German young people during 2024. This survey will have a look at the needs, obstacles and support mechanisms for youngsters in Germany concerning international learning mobility. This survey will focus particularly on access to relevant information on participation in youth mobility opportunities.
In the lecture, the results of both surveys will be presented by the implementing organisations (Eurodesk Brussels Link and Eurodesk Germany) and the resulting findings for youth information in Germany and Europe will then be discussed with the participants present.

#theatre.makes.politics - The Bundesverband Theaterpädagogik e.V. develops methods for democratizing young people in European cooperation
With #theatre.makes.politics, the Bundesverband Theaterpädagogik e.V. (BuT) has been part of a European partner program since 2022 that develops theater pedagogical methods and formats in response to anti-democratic forces in Europe. We present the first results and key questions of the project.
From April 2022 to mid-2025, the BuT is running an ERASMUS+-funded project entitled #theatre.makes.poltics, with the other project partners being TENet-Gr Greece, LaTransplanisphere France, CID North Macedonia, TeatroExquorum Portugal and the Dortmund Children's and Youth Theatre. The aim is to develop a practical handbook with theater pedagogical methods and formats as a response to anti-democratic forces in European societies.
With the rise of anti-democratic forces in Europe, the cohesion of our societies is in danger. Right-wing populist parties in particular are trying to dominate the political discourse, claiming to be "the people", to have the "right" answers and to deny that others belong to our society.
Many supporters of right-wing populists, believers in conspiracies, but also Islamist or Christian fundamentalists despise democratic processes and try to undermine them, expecting tolerance from others while at the same time being and acting intolerant themselves.
We think it is extremely important that young Europeans understand how populists and extremists of various stripes try to manipulate them, how they stir up resistance and even hostility towards other groups, be it refugees, Muslims, "infidels", LGBTQ+, etc.
With the results of our project, we want to encourage young people to change their perspective, develop a deeper understanding of people who are "different", overcome prejudices and discover the joy of exchanging ideas, playing, acting and dancing with people they would otherwise never meet. Promoting tolerance of ambiguity is also a particular concern of ours.
After several "input workshops" with experts on the topics relevant to us in France, Portugal, Greece and North Macedonia, we split into 4 working groups to develop 4-day workshops for young people.
• Right-wing populism / extremism
• Disinformation, misinformation, misinformation and conspiracy theories.
• Christian fundamentalism (through the Orthodox Church)
• Islamic fundamentalism / Islamism
The methods were put into practice during a 5-day pilot workshop on the island of Lesbos in September 2023, to which around 30 multipliers from the participating countries traveled to test the methods and provide feedback. The methods were then tested in pilot workshops with young people and further developed after evaluation.

Is the history of youth policy in Europe a success story? What influence does European youth policy have on debates in Germany and on practice in child and youth welfare? A lot has actually happened since the 1990s.
Is the history of youth policy in Europe a success story? What influence does European youth policy have on debates in Germany and on practice in child and youth welfare? A lot has actually happened since the 1990s. The interest in taking greater account of the concerns and perspectives of children and young people in European policy and involving them more in decision-making processes has increased significantly. We want to shed some light on this development and let various German stakeholders in child and youth welfare have their say on current strategies and objectives of EU youth policy.

Youth, peace and security: UN Resolution 2250 and its significance for youth work
The session "Youth, Peace and Security" will discuss the implementation of UN Resolution 2250. A panel of young people, representatives of the Federal Foreign Office and youth actors will discuss the potential of youth participation in peace and security issues.
Russia's renewed and ongoing attack on Ukraine has brought war and conflict to the heart of Europe, making issues and fears that were long considered "far away" for many part of everyday life. For young people in particular, life has changed drastically, and the effects can be felt on a daily basis. Through this, the central importance of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 (2015) and the positive role of young people in peace and security processes are becoming increasingly clear and the member states of the United Nations are called upon to involve them at all levels. The Youth, Peace and Security Agenda (YPS) therefore calls for and strengthens the participation of young people in shaping peace processes and involving them in security issues. In this sense, YPS actors emphasize the importance of the necessary, far-reaching involvement of young people in democratic negotiation processes and the practical implementation of peace and security measures. This raises the question of what role national and international youth work can play in fulfilling its peace-building mission - and what this means in concrete terms.
The session "Youth, peace and security: UN Resolution 2250 and its significance for youth work" will deal with this topic and related issues. As part of introductory keynotes (english) and a panel discussion (german), various YPS actors will report on their experiences of implementing Resolution 2250. A representative from the Nordic Coalition on Youth Peace and Security will talk about the national implementation of the agenda and describe which steps they believe should be taken and which initiatives they are already implementing themselves.
Finally, the thematic discussion will focus on Germany, as the YPS agenda emphasizes that its implementation is necessary and required in all contexts - regardless of the (non-)existence of acute armed conflicts. Among other things, it will be discussed what framework conditions are needed to effectively implement UN Resolution 2250 in Germany and what contribution can be made here to democratic participation and, not least, the resilience of democracy(ies). Practical examples from our work with young people show that we act in line with the UN resolutions on an almost daily basis - but rarely explicitly state this. What can and must peace work mean in different contexts, and how can we also strengthen these complex issues at regional level? Whether it is a guided cooking evening with other young people, discussing and arguing about ideas for peacekeeping, or sending delegates to the United Nations - there are numerous ways to give people the opportunity to make their contribution to peace work. The German Coalition for Youth, Peace and Security, representatives of the Federal Foreign Office, youth work and committed young people from youth associations will discuss how this can be achieved and what it takes.

Youth participation on the international stage - NAJU youth delegations at the World Nature Conservation and Climate Change Conferences
Every year, NAJU youth delegates take part in the political negotiations at the UN World Climate Conference and the UN Biodiversity Conference to represent the voices of young people. The young delegates present their experiences and engage in discussions with the participants.
The climate and biodiversity crisis continues to progress, and the young generation will be affected by the impacts of the crises for the longest time. However, key decisions on climate and biodiversity protection are not made at national level, but at international level. In order to give young people the opportunity to contribute their opinions and to represent the views of young people, NAJU sends youth delegates to the World Climate Change and World Nature Conservation Conferences every year.
In recent years, young people have increasingly demanded and taken up more space in political debates and processes. The youth environmental associations support these concerns structurally, ideally and practically. For years, youth delegates from NAJU and other associations have been involved in the complex political negotiations at the Conferences of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Together with youth delegates from other associations and groups, the “NAJU for Climate” delegation has been involved in the climate conferences since 2019, seeking diplomatic exchange and drawing attention to the urgency of real climate protection with protest actions.
With the “Voice for Biodiv” delegation, NAJU has been sending a youth delegation of up to six (NAJU) activists to the World Nature Conservation Conferences since 2012. The youth delegates not only contribute young people's voices to the negotiations on the ground, but also report on the agreement and the conference through many channels, thereby campaigning for the important protection of biodiversity. The NAJU youth delegation “Voice for Biodiv” is supported by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation with funds from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection.
Following an insight into the work of the youth delegations in the field, which recently attended the World Climate Change Conference in Baku (Azerbaijan) and the World Nature Conservation Conference in Cali (Colombia), NAJU wants to discuss the opportunities and limits of youth participation at international level at this event.

Youth mainstreaming: including young people in all policy fields!
What is youth policy and how can the perspectives of young people be taken into account in all policy fields? The Centre for European Youth Policy (DJI) discusses the concept of "youth mainstreaming" and its interaction in and with youth policy in Germany and Europe.
Fridays for Future and Last Generation have shown that climate policy affects everyone, and the younger generations in particular want to be heard. Does this mean that climate policy is also youth policy? At the very least, a political shift can be observed in Germany and Europe towards considering and taking into account the perspectives, interests and needs of young people not only in child and youth policy, but also in other policy areas - such as climate policy. In Germany, for example, the Youth Check and the Interministerial Working Group on Youth were introduced as part of the federal youth policy. Such developments can also be observed in Europe: With the concept of "youth mainstreaming" and the accompagnying youth test, the European Union highlights the participation of young people is those policy fields relevant to them. The Council of Europe also wants to take greater account of a "youth perspective" in its organisation.
What do these developments mean for the understanding of youth policy? What can "youth mainstreaming" look like in concrete terms, and what role does youth participation play in this? These and other questions will be discussed in the workshop.
To this end, the European Youth Policy Centre will first give an input in which youth policy will be presented as a spectrum and the developments surrounding "youth mainstreaming" will be discussed. This will be followed by a discussion in small groups with the audience on how youth policy, under the conceptual conditions of youth mainstreaming, can be given new impetus in Germany.

This will be followed by a discussion in small groups with the audience on how youth policy, under the conceptual conditions of youth mainstreaming, can be given new impetus in Germany.

EUROPE FOR ALL - Enabling democracy through participation and participation
Children and young people from the field of educational assistance are often discriminated against, also with regard to the freedom of travel, which is restricted by the Brussels IIb Regulation. This results in consequences and hurdles for schools, youth welfare offices, associations, and educational aids.
Contacting people from different countries and cultures, young people learn to develop tolerance, openness and intercultural competence. They learn to navigate different cultural contexts and respect cultural differences. In addition, spending time abroad enables young people to get to know themselves better and to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses. They can thus broaden their perspectives, discover new interests and develop personally. Young people learn to behave appropriately in different cultural contexts, avoid misunderstandings and build successful interpersonal relationships. A multitude of arguments to think of educational aids in a European way and to recognize weaknesses.
That sounds simple, but in practice it is more than complicated!
Children and young people using the youth welfare support system face many restrictions if they want to live the European idea. Every time a border is crossed, a consultation procedure for the child or adolescent must be completed in advance by the occupying youth welfare office. This is regulated in the Brussels IIb Regulation, a European regulation for international custody conflicts. The host country must give its consent for the young person to travel to the country and stay there. At the same time, each host country has its own procedures for implementing the Brussels IIb Regulation. This often leads to difficulties. Youth welfare services abroad, holiday trips with residential groups, or spontaneous day or leisure visits to countries close to the border are therefore hardly or no longer possible. The same applies to participation in international events such as the Kirchentag, international camps, class trips or educational trips.
As a result, this means that children and young people from educational assistance are usually denied participation in a trip to other European countries.

Narrative talking-groups in youth (social) work and school education – promoting democratic personality development in a community context
The method of narrative group work with students is explained, including exercises on narrative dialogue, practical work experience and a case story – promoting 'intensive civic education' to build rapport with difficult-to-reach, at-risk young people, veering towards (self)hatred.
The workshop conveys the intensive-educational format of narrative group work (NGW) in an exemplary way in school settings: In one hour per week of regular teaching time for at least one semester, half of a school class (8-13 pupils) are accompanied in a free group conversation by a tandem of young extracurricular facilitators (students of social work/educational science etc.) - assisted by school social workers and municipal social services. Relationship building, narrative dialog, a tailored setting that can be changed flexibly, complete openness of topics and an accompanied time-out area enable confidentiality, voluntariness, personal willingness to talk and a safe narrative space. Experiences of exclusion, bullying, group-related devaluation, so-called extremism and violence are also discussed and dealt with together. The young people learn to share their own experiences, to listen to and understand each other, to question and scrutinize each other in an attentive manner, to develop strategies together at the school or youth facility for a more non-violent, respectful coexistence - and to find effective and networked solutions for situations with a threatening character.
It is explained how and why pupils at particularly challenged (hotspot) schools need a moderated and protected space for open-topic - and taboo-free - speaking/thinking and to what extent such intensified group conversation formats are increasingly indispensable as a factor in the community based promotion of democratic personality development of young people. After all, it has been foreseeable since the 1990s that the threats to democratic society are massive and constantly increasing and that schools, youth (social) work and, in particular, civic education systems need to show greater methodological concern and willingness to innovate in order to effectively alleviate these threats and, above all, promote resilience and intelligent engagement among young people.
The NGG's decidedly transdisciplinary approach includes an interface to targeted interventions by child/youth/family support, in particular also to distancing/exit work, and implements psychosocial prevention. A further interface to systemic school counseling "from below", i.e. from the young people (possibly also from local counseling) supports the handling of institutional problems. Advocacy in education and social policy is committed to perpetuating narrative discussion groups in schools (NGG).
The presentation of an exemplary group process around a brazen Holocaust denial illustrates the effectiveness and potential of NGG.

How can young people shape democracy through European solidarity and mobility (through the EU youth programmes)?
How do the EU youth programmes (Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps) support participation and democracy? This event will explore key factors, inspiring practices and further support needed for European projects to contribute to democratic learning.
Societies in Germany and Europe are going through a period of upheaval, in which extreme and anti-democratic tendencies are on the rise. This brings with it an increased risk of young people being attracted to extreme groups and parties, but also an increased need for democracy education. Preventative work to introduce young people to a democratic community of values at an early age and to strengthen their resilience against extreme tendencies is more important than ever. The aim of this event is to discuss and shape the possible role of the (future) EU youth programmes (Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps) and their activity formats in promoting youth participation and (learning) democracy. This includes exploring and identifying key success factors, inspiring practices, but also training and support needs of youth workers and organisations to strengthen meaningful engagement. A panel session will introduce the topic from different perspectives, such as young people's experiences with engaging in democratic life through European projects, insights from research and analysis on the contribution of the EU youth programmes to democracy, and inspiring youth work practices. All participants are then invited to share and reflect on the opportunities, challenges, and needs for the successful implementation of projects with a strong democracy development and learning dimension.
Guiding questions will support the discussion:
- How can volunteering or other forms of European mobility experiences inspire and empower, and promote democratic engagement among young people and further support it? What makes participatory and voluntary engagement meaningful?
- What further support is needed for youth (work) organisations?
- What are the lessons learnt and recommendations for the future generation of EU youth programmes (Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps) from 2028 and their focus on youth participation, civic engagement and democracy?
The ideas and recommendations may feed into further (political) processes, such as the design of the future generation of EU youth programmes from 2028 and further needs-oriented (European) training opportunities.

no borders, no limits, no boundaries – for education in europe
Educational support services across borders in Europe – how can this be achieved? The heterogeneous legal situation as well as the cultural differences in Europe require a high level of successful cooperation in order to effectively manage and implement individual support measures.
Educational support services for upbringing across borders in Europe – how can this be achieved? The predominantly German-developed field of cross-border individual support has established itself as a multifaceted and promising approach over the past 30 years.
However, the heterogeneous legal situation as well as the cultural differences in the wonderfully diverse Europe require a high level of successful cooperation to effectively manage and implement these support measures.
The aim of this event is to provide a current inventory of the field. Employees of public and private organizations, employees of (local) youth welfare offices, and European players are addressed and invited with the intention of revitalizing sometimes very entrenched dialogues.
The idea for the event was initiated by the publication "no borders, no limits, no boundaries – for education in europe" of the two German umbrella and specialist associations Bundesverband Individual- und Erlebnispädagogik e.V. and AIM Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Individualpädagogik e.V.
The event is organized by the specialist group for measures abroad of the AIM Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Individualpädagogik e.V.

Take a look – the Czech Republic as a partner country in international youth exchanges
You don't have to travel halfway around the world for an exciting international exchange experience: our neighbouring country, the Czech Republic, is ideal for diverse and sustainable encounters. The Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centres – Tandem show you the possibilities.
People in Germany and the Czech Republic are not only connected by centuries of shared history, but also by an 817-kilometre-long open border. The Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centres – Tandem support encounters between children and young people as well as professional exchanges between the two countries. At the event, we will be presenting our programmes and services in the extracurricular, school, vocational and pre-school sectors. Visitors will gain practical insights from various examples of good practice: Christoph David Schumacher from Tüpfelhausen – Das Familienportal e.V. (Leipzig) reports on programmes such as a German-Czech-Israeli work camp or the award-winning ‘International, intercultural football encounter festival’. Tandem's current (funding) focus for the years 2024-2026 "#MameToInDerHand – Shaping together, acting sustainably!" enables special forms of cooperation for those active in extracurricular youth work in particular. Tandem uses the creative method of German-Czech language animation to break the ice during youth encounters. Visitors can also try this out for themselves and pick up their first words of Czech in the process. Tandem is an organisation of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth with the task of facilitating friendly relationships between young people from Germany and the Czech Republic. Tandem supports the search for partners, offers financial support, German-Czech language animation and provides advice and qualifications on all topics relating to the planning and organisation of German-Czech encounters between children and young people. The services are aimed at voluntary and full-time youth work professionals, teachers from all types of schools, educators and young people.
Tandem ist die zentrale Fachstelle für den Jugend- und Schulaustausch zwischen Deutschland und Tschechien. Wir helfen bei der Kontaktsuche, unterstützen bei der Durchführung von Projekten und fördern deutsch-tschechische Begegnungen finanziell.

Paneldiscussion "How to: Engage Youngsters in cultural activities. European best practices with the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025"
A 90-minute panel focused on exchanging and networking on common European themes in youth participation. Young people and professionals present and discuss best practices in interactive workshops.
At the heart of the 90-minute panel "European Youth Participation - Common Themes and Practices" is the discussion on cross-border concerns of young people in Europe. Participants, including experts from the European Youth Forum and young individuals from Chemnitz, begin by sharing insights and challenges in impulse-driven short presentations.
The "Fishbowl Discussion" receives special attention. Here, experts and selected participants sit in an inner circle, while the other attendees take seats in an outer circle. This dynamic approach allows participants from the outer circle to rotate into the inner circle and actively shape the discussion. Everyone can join in, voice their opinions, and ask questions, promoting a lively and inclusive dialogue.
The following Q&A session encourages in-depth exchanges of thoughts. The continuous rotation of discussion participants keeps the conversation fresh and integrative, ensuring a broad range of perspectives is heard.
The goal is to empower the local actors to apply the discussed best practices within their communities and promote strong, Europe-wide networking.

Engaging parents in child protection: cultivating motivation to change
The event employs an international perspective to identify child protection practitioners‘ training needs with regard to engaging with parents and evidence-based approaches to meeting these needs. The participants will be encouraged to consider implications of the insights gained for their practice.
Working with parents in child protection is one of the most demanding tasks in social work. The relationship, often initiated by third parties, presents professionals with the challenge of engaging clients, who may be resistent to help. Professionals are particularly successful in working towards sustainable changes in family life when parents are supported to be able to develop an intrinsic motivation for change. However, analyses of problematic child protection cases in Germany have repeatedly indicated that the professionals‘ lack of methodological knowledge and skills required to work effectively with non-voluntary clients impact detrimentally on the quality and success of their work.
This international panel comprises two thematic parts: first, presentations and second, a discussion. The presentations will share empirical evidence from Germany and Finland regarding the need to strengthen practitioners‘ engagement skills as perceived by both, child protection clients and practitioners themselves.
An additional international contribution will focus on evidence from the UK of how to improve engagement through communication skills. In particular, the benefits of Motivational Interviewing (MI), a client-centred and directive counselling approach, will be considered in the child protection context. Interactive, skills-based elements will be combined with latest research findings and theories about effective communication with parents in the context of child protection. Finally, the results of a research project in Finland will be presented, in which a training programme for practitioners from child protection and family social work (preventative child protection) to strengthen interaction skills was developed, piloted and evaluated. The training was based on MI and other relevant interaction skills.
In the second part of the event, participants will be invited to discuss with the panel members the extent to which the „good practice“ approaches raised in the presentations can be used in their own work, and how potential challenges can be overcome.

Europe-Explorer: a Kindergarten-parliament looking for Europe
Preschool children from Jena playfully discover Europe. They open their children's parliament for questions, discussions, and presentations about Europe. Their topics include justice, peace, and dealing with nature, all using exciting methods according to the motto: Discovering Europe.
What do little children think about big Europe? What ideas and wishes do they have for living together in Europe? What do children think about national borders, language barriers, and the protection of natural resources? How do they want to shape their future on this continent? At the Lichtenhainer Zwerge Kindergarten in Jena, participation, global thinking, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) are conceptually fused into one. For their work, they were awarded a prize by the IB foundation Schwarz-Rot-Bunt in 2023.
With the project "Europa-Entdecker" (Europe Explorers), children are given the opportunity to playfully discover Europe. The goal is to provide children with the space to develop, articulate, and participate in a fascinating process of exploring their ideas about Europe. Children have their own unique perspective on the world. They notice shortcomings that adults accept and see potentials wich are hidden from the eyes of adultes. Weekly morning circles and the monthly children's parliament complement everyday activities. The children decide on the topics and priorities. Leading the way, the preschoolers introduce the countries of Europe to the younger children. At the center of this is the self-designed XXL Europe puzzle, which all the children can repeatedly turn to, ensuring that the topic is picked up weekly. "Why are there borders?" or "How do people differ?" and "What is common in the countries?" Enthusiastically and with great creativity, the children engage in these questions - each with their own curiosity and expertise. The ideas were written down in an open letter and recorded in a video message, which, through the European Parliament member Katharina Barley, was sent to the European Parliament in Brussels. The children actively participate and stand up for their ideas about Europe. They practice democratic voting, acceptance of other opinions, and respect for other people. The children are heard and taken seriously. This increases their sense of self-efficacy and participation - even reaching into the European Parliament.
The presentation of the project is framed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (DGBNE e.V.). To make Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) come alive in the daycare concept, it has to connect to the children's world. Children are empowered to participate in decision making and to take action. For learning together as equals, there needs to be space, opportunities, and stimuli to think and act with a future-oriented approach. It involves understanding relationships and values that are crucial for their (own) future. The DGBNE accompaniment works with innovative approaches and provides participatory methods for responsible contribution to an ecologically sustainable and socially fair environment.

The role of youth workers in the digital era: challenges and opportunities in the age of AI
Should youth work fear or embrace the development of digital technologies? This event explores the role of youth work in digitalised societies, in light of AI-based tools and support mechanisms available to youth workers to engage with them.
This event invites participants to critically discuss issues around artificial intelligence (AI) and youth work. The discussion will be initiated and inspired by short presentations from different perspectives, such as a young person's experience with AI-based youth work offers, inspiring practical examples experimenting with digital aspects, and insights from the European policy level on possible strategies and long-term perspectives.
The interactive event will be based on several questions, taking into account the interest of the participants:
- How democratic is AI? What values underpin youth work in the digital sphere? What responsibilities do youth workers have in this context?
- How do AI-based tools affect young people's psychological and social development as well as their democratic potential and participation?
- Can digitalisation support the quest for social inclusion and promote more inclusive participation of all young people? If so, how?
- How should European youth policy support youth work practice in addressing and adapting to the digital transformation affecting young people and their participation?
The event aims to stimulate questions and inspiration that can be transferred to participants' own work contexts and will include a moment to reflect on individual takeaways.

Together, not alone! The European Youth Work Agenda and Its Opportunities for the Future of Youth Work in Germany
Make use of the momentum from Europe for your work! Discover the potential of the European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA) for Germany and draw inspiration from practical examples. Develop fresh ideas together for the German and European professional debate.
How can our work become more visible and gain greater recognition? What can we do about staff shortages and insufficient funding? How can we enable young people to gain an international perspective? These are just some of the questions youth work in Germany is currently facing — and we’re not alone in this across Europe.
The European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA) is a joint response to these challenges. It offers a framework and inspiration for the development of youth work across Europe. But what concrete support does Europe offer for professionals and organisations?
In this workshop, we will explore where the German implementation process stands five years after the introduction of the EYWA. We will take inspiration from practical examples that have already achieved a lot with the help of the EYWA — and are planning even more!
We’ll also look at how the EYWA is being implemented in other European countries. This comes just before the 4th European Youth Work Convention, taking place from 27 to 30 May 2025 in Malta. The Convention, held every five years, brings together stakeholders in the youth work field from up to 50 European countries. In this workshop, we will develop ideas and topics from the German professional debate that can feed into the Convention and shape the next five-year cycle of EYWA implementation in Germany.
What to expect:
1.) Practical Panel “EYWA in Action”:
• Offers by the National Contact Point for the implementation of the European Youth Work Agenda in Germany
• Local EYWA action plans from local partnerships in the model communities Oldenburg and Rhein-Selz
• Insights from the project and community-building work of Generation Europe – The Academy by the Internationales Bildungs- und Begegnungswerk e.V. (IBB e.V.)
2.) EYWA across Europe:
• Research insights into the implementation of national EYWA processes across Europe from the cooperation project “Growing Youth Work” of the network of National Agencies for Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps
3.) Exchange and Discussion:
• Sharing personal experiences and identifying needs
• Pinpointing key topics for the continued implementation of the EYWA
Get inspired for your practical work and help shape the future of youth work!

Democracy and young people - a German-European comparison in theory and practice
In this workshop, data of the European Social Survey on young people's democratic attitudes are presented by the Centre for European Youth Policy, followed by the presentation of activities of the Kreisjugendring Munich-City on how democracy can be experienced through participation concepts.
If current media reports are to be believed, young people are dissatisfied with politics: they are turning away from democracy and their trust in political institutions is declining. The call for more political education and democracy promotion programs, both in Germany and in Europe, is growing. In addition to formal political education programs in schools, youth work is one of the places where democracy can be experienced through participation opportunities at the local level. Against this background, the Centre for European Youth Policy and the Kreisjugendring München-Stadt will discuss participatory democratic approaches in youth work.
An input from the European Youth Policy Office highlights the relevance of the topic: it presents a German-European comparison of current data on young people's democratic attitudes from the European Social Survey (2024). This European longitudinal study shows the development of young people's interest in politics over many years, their confidence in the functioning of democracy and young people's expectations of political self-efficacy.
The Participation Unit of the Kreisjugendring Munich-City then uses various aspects of participation to present how democracy can be experienced by young people through participation opportunities in open child and youth work. The task of the Unit is to promote experiential spaces and structures that make democracy tangible through the practical anchoring of forms of participation in the open child and youth work of the KJR Munich-City.
Against the background of the data presented, presenters and audience discuss how the opportunities and challenges of young people's participation in youth work can be addressed.

Youth Councils in Germany and Europe under pressure: A threat to youth participation?
In the workshop, we would like to present the EU Youth Dialogue and its opportunities for participation and discuss together how it can be made accessible to young people from all youth welfare structures and what is still needed for its inclusive further development.
The phenomenon of the increasing restriction of civil society freedom, known as ‘shrinking spaces’, has now taken on drastic dimensions. Youth councils and youth organisations, which play an important role in political and social development as actors in civil society, are particularly affected. They are increasingly under pressure, whether through restrictive legislation, financial cuts or direct or indirect interventions in their work.
The workshop will provide an overview of developments in Germany and Europe in order to derive insights and strategies for Germany from the experiences of European youth organisations. The aim is to develop approaches for action from the common challenges. The focus here is on securing the participation of young people in Europe in the long term, even under the challenges described. Without strong youth organisations such as youth associations and youth councils, effective participation at European level is inconceivable.
The EU Youth Dialogue invites you to the workshop. It is the central youth participation instrument of the European Union and enables young people to participate in politics in Germany and Europe. The Youth Dialogue organises dialogues between young people and decision-makers from politics and administration. The 11th cycle has been running since January 2025 with a focus on the youth objective ‘Bringing the EU together with young people’.

How does (European) youth work support meaningful political participation of young people in a polarised world?
How does youth work navigate shifting and shrinking civic spaces and social and political polarisation? This event will discuss how youth work can support meaningful political participation of young people in a polarized political and social context.
How does youth work navigate through changing and shrinking civic spaces? How does youth work develop in societies with authoritarian dynamics? How can European youth policy and funding programmes promote meaningful political participation of young people, especially in different deteriorating democratic contexts? What further support is needed to promote meaningful youth participation in light of polarisation, authoritarian tendencies, and misinformation? These questions are at the centre of this event. Short presentations will showcase practices to inspire, but also to identify challenges in implementing meaningful youth participation and democracy learning in the current political and societal atmosphere. All participants are then invited to ask questions and discuss practice examples, challenges, opportunities, and limitations of youth work in this context. Further (critical) guiding questions will support the discussions:
- Where and how does youth work take place in changing or shrinking spaces?
- How does youth work try to engage with hard-to-reach youth groups (e. g. from radicalised, politically marginalised, far-right, politically disillusioned subcultures)?
- What support is needed to promote meaningful political participation of young people in different deteriorating democratic contexts?
The event aims to provide space for dialogue and discussion on this topic and to stimulate further reflection for and in the field of youth work.

What Are the EU’s Key Priorities for Children's Rights (2024-2029)?
An overview of the European Union's child rights priorities 2024-2029. This will include an analysis of the Speech by President-elect of the presentation of upcoming College of Commissioners and their programme in November 2024.
Join Eurochild, Europe’s largest children’s rights network, to discuss how to enhance the EU’s commitment to child rights and improve children’s lives across the European Union. We’ll dive into the biggest priorities for children’s rights, explore how to amplify children's voices and turn policies into real impact—at both EU and national levels.
Combining our 20+ years of expertise with insights from 224 members across 42 countries, our session offers a unique and practical approach to advancing children's rights, making it a must-attend for those driving real change.
Topics of the session:
• Child Poverty and Social Exclusion: In 2023, nearly 25% of EU children faced poverty, with vulnerable groups disproportionately affected. At Eurochild we monitor progress on the European Child Guarantee through its Children’s Realities in Europe report.
• Children’s Rights in the Digital Environment: To safeguard children’s rights in digital spaces and to combat online risks like abuse and exploitation, cyberbullying, and negative mental health outcomes, we champion children's rights online by supporting Better Internet for Kids, influencing the Digital Services Act and AI Act, and urging companies to design child-friendly digital services. It advocates for proactive harm detection and prioritizes digital well-being.
• Child Participation: We amplify children's voices in EU policymaking through the Eurochild Children’s Council (ECC) and member-led initiatives. Advocacy toolkits and reports like Poverty Takes Away the Right to Childhood empower children as active citizens in a rights-based society.

Perspective change for good collaboration between youth welfare and schools A workshop with Danish and German researchers
In this workshop, the participants, Danish and German researchers will discuss the benefits of national changes of perspective in order to find ideas for good conditions for collaboration between youth welfare and schools.
Using the example of the structural conditions of child and youth welfare in Denmark, this workshop will focus on the benefits of inter-European comparisons. In dialogue with the workshop participants, Danish and German researchers, the question of how changing national perspectives can lead to ideas for good collaboration conditions between youth welfare and schools will be considered.
As input for this discussion on the one hand, Danish researchers from the University of Applied Sciences UC Syd in South Jutland will provide information on how child and youth welfare is organised in Denmark. The new Danish Barnets Lov (Children's Act) and the ‘Helhedsorientering’ (holistic orientation) play an important role here. On the other hand, a German researcher uses her study of cooperation between the school and youth welfare system at local authority level in Denmark to explain, how suggestions from a foreign social welfare system can be used to gain insights for school social work in Germany and where these are limited. Specifically, the focus is on the structural barriers in the collaboriation between the school and youth welfare system that school social work is confronted with.
The workshop participants will be asked to contribute their national perspectives on the problems of collaboration between the two systems to the discussion.

Take action - Youth participation with the Ambassadors of Generation Europe
The Guide to Activism empowers through diverse stories and practical advice, fostering continuous civic engagement. Supported by IBB e.V., it's part of Generation Europe- The Academy.
The Guide to Activism is a comprehensive digital resource born from the collaboration of experienced youth workers, social researchers, and young activists, the Ambassadors, across Europe. The product is available only in English. It compiles over 40 personal stories of successful activism into six categories crucial for effective engagement. Unlike traditional guides, it encourages young people to engage in a dynamic, non-linear exploration, similar to a circuit rather than a straight path. This approach reflects the belief that activism is a continuous journey, not a finite destination. The guide, facilitated by the Guide to Activism Group and supported by organizations like the International Association for Education and Exchange (IBB e.V.), aims to empower individuals to instigate meaningful change within their communities and beyond. Young people are thus enabled to start at their point and become active and experience personal growth and empowerment on this path. Through individual narratives and curated links, it fosters a spiral of learning and action, emphasizing the ripple effect of activism in transforming individuals, communities, and the world at large. As part of Generation Europe – The Academy, it aligns with the mission of promoting social participation, enable active participation of young people and fostering cross-border collaboration among youth organizations, ultimately striving for a more just, democratic and peaceful society.
With the help of a PowerPoint presentation, a video and an interactive method with audience participation, the Guide to Activism will be presented. The focus is on the use of the Guide in youth work by professionals and self-organized youth groups. The presentation will be made by three professionals with the support of three to four Ambassadors to represent all levels of the Guide. The presentation will be held in English, with the opportunity to ask questions in German. We therefore ask for a translation if possible.
The expected time is about 1 hour and 30 min.

Workshop | Europe@DJHT — Deutsch-Französisches Jugendwerk (DFJW)
How to emphasize diversity and participation through political education
How can Franco-German or international youth exchanges be a place for participation? How can a democratic understanding be conveyed here? The workshop creates an international perspective on civic educational work and opportunities for participation.
It is part of the identity of Franco-German / international youth exchanges to create open cooperation, an understanding of democratic processes and an awareness of diverse societies. The confrontation with different perspectives enables young people to review their own convictions and discover new points of view. In conjunction withcivic education, young people are given the tools they need to actively shape and participate in shaping society. Any offers must be accessible to all young people. The question then arises: How can they be designed to be low-threshold? How can a diverse target audience be reached?
The Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO) has been focusing on civic education and various aspects of participation in its funding programs forseveral years. Since 2015, the "Diversity and Participation" strategy has aimed to make exchange programs more accessible and, in particular, to reach young people who previously had little or no access due to exclusion mechanisms, (structural) experiences of discrimination or other barriers. The conception and implementation of diversity-sensitive and participatory formats is also a concern in civic education : it becomes clear that there are exciting fields of action in terms of content, subject and pedagogy. Especially at international level, very different approaches can be formulated, as the understanding of civic education, inclusion and participation can vary greatly depending on the country and context. It is therefore all the more important to be familiar with different approaches and develop common positions when planning and implementing international projects in this field of action. In this context, the FGYO is organizing two Franco-German specialist forums in autumn 2024: one in cooperation with the German Federal Agency for Civic Education on the principles and quality standards of political education in the context of international youth work, and a second on inclusion and participation in youth encounters.
The findings of these events will be presented in the workshop. It aims to look beyond the German-French horizon and to discuss, deepen and, if necessary, supplement the findings together with the international participants (first in small groups, then in plenary). Ideally, a joint position on principles, scope for action and perspectives can be formulated at the end.
In addition, the results of the workshop could be taken up again at future conferences in order to make a long-term contribution to the further development of pedagogical concepts in the field of civic education and for inclusive youth welfare and youth programmes at an international level.

Pathways of young people with a migration or refugee background: from youth work offers to political participation?
What are successful youth work approaches to support the participation of young migrants and refugees in an inclusive and sustainable way? This event aims to inspire the further development of youth work practices that support all young people in their diversity to participate.
How can youth work provide the necessary leverage and support young migrants, refugees, and displaced persons to participate in an inclusive and sustainable way? The event will facilitate discussion on a number of questions around this topic. The discussion will be introduced by short inputs with different perspectives: stories of young people with a migrant or refugee background, findings from research on empowering young people with a migrant or refugee background, and inspiring practices from migrant or refugee self-organisations at local level. The questions to be highlighted and discussed are diverse and also be guided by the interests of the participants:
- What kind of support and strategic (cross-sectoral) cooperation is needed to sustain inclusive youth work practice for young people with migrant and refugee backgrounds and to promote the post-migrant perspective of migration as a fact of reality?
- What influences youth workers and their practice in the contexts, in which youth work supporting young people with a migrant and/or refugee background takes place?
- What are the possibilities and limitations of youth work in view of the (European) political impact of migration and its consequences for young people?
- How do young people with a migrant and/or refugee background feel about youth work in relation to integration prospects and their general well-being?
The aim of the event is to initiate critical discussions but also to provide inspiration for advancing youth work approaches that empower and support all young people in their diversity.

Democracy education in the context of the rightshift in Europe
The rightshift in Europe brings many challenges for youth work:
- To what extent and in what way is youth work affected by the rightshift in European countries?
- Securing democracy education programs in the medium term?
- Rightshift and financing of youth work?
During our workshop "Democracy education in the context of right shift in Europe", we will work with international and german professional and voluntary youth workers on:
- Questions about the situation of youth (and youth associations) work in different European countries and the challenges associated with the shift to the right (including an aggressive political climate, diversity and inclusion, hate speech, the role of international youth work, prospects for funding youth work). In a second step, we will discuss ways of learning from each other across national borders and developing joint strategies. (Both youth policy strategies and methodological strategies for working with young people).
- Questions about the situation of youth (and youth associations) work in different European countries and the challenges associated with the shift to the right (including an aggressive political climate, diversity and inclusion, hate speech, the role of international youth work, prospects for funding youth work). In a second step, we will discuss ways of learning from each other across national borders and developing joint strategies.

Workshop | Europe@DJHT — JUGEND für Europa, Nationale Agentur für die EU-Förderprogramme Erasmus+ Jugend, Erasmus+ Sport und Europäisches Solidaritätskorps
International youth mobility and sustainability: a contradiction in terms?
How do the policy objectives of international learning mobility of young people relate to the Sustainable Development Goals? This event will assess international learning mobility from a climate change perspective and aims to inspire the design of inclusive and sustainable youth mobility projects.
The topic of climate change has a direct impact on forms and questions of mobility and is therefore a highly relevant future topic with massive implications, especially for international exchange formats and funding programmes. The aim of the event is to inform and critically discuss sustainable practices of organisations working with learning mobility formats and their support through (European) funding programmes. This includes a critical assessment of international learning mobility from the perspective of climate change, but also highlighting approaches at practical level. Short presentations will introduce the topic from different perspectives, such as young people's experiences with international learning mobility and sustainable lifestyles, research and analysis on the relationship between youth, mobility, and climate change, as well as opportunities and challenges in the practical implementation of projects. The main part of the programme will invite participants to exchange and develop ideas and recommendations for the future design and implementation of international learning mobility in line with sustainability efforts and needs. Questions that will guide the exchange and discussion include:
- How could or should international learning mobility reinforce young people's engagement with sustainability topics?
- What makes international learning mobility projects both sustainable and inclusive?
- What kind of support is available to organisations working with learning mobiliy formats and what else do they need to support the path to sustainability for young people, professionals, and international learning mobility projects?
The ideas and recommendations may feed into further political discussions and processes, such as the shaping of the future generation of EU youth programmes (Erasmus+ Youth and European Solidarity Corps) from 2028.

Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft religiös begründeter Extremismus e. V. (BAG RelEx) | Europe@DJHT
Religiously Motivated Extremism: Information, Prevention, Disengagement & Deradicalisation
The German Council on Preventing Extremism or BAG RelEx (abbreviation of the German term “Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft religiös begründeter Extremismus”) is a non-profit organisation established by 25 civil society organisations in November 2016. Their motivation was to provide those working in Germany and Europa to support democracy and prevent religiously motivated extremism with a platform for networking, knowledge sharing and facilitating ongoing development while also creating a body that would represent the interests of such organisations.
With almost 40 member organisations across Germany, BAG RelEx brings together a broad range of approaches and methods and reflects its members’ long-standing experience in the field. We provide our member organisations with a forum for exchanging expertise and also serve as a point of contact for other institutions and actors in Germany and Europe. The BAG RelEx thus stands for a good practice on facilitating civil society networking and professional exchange, both in Germany and on a European level.
We also deal with other forms of religiously motivated radicalisation and the associated educational and social challenges. However, due to the current socio-political relevance, the prevention of Islamism is the key focus of our work.
That is why, we are working together with IFAK e. V., modus|zad gGmbH and ufuq e. V. to establish a nationwide infrastructure in the field of Islamism prevention in Germany. Previously, we implemented the competence network ‘Islamist Extremism’ (KN:IX, 2020-2024) together with Violence Prevention Network gGmbH and ufuq e. V. Since autumn 2022, we have also been involved in the cross-agency project PrEval, which deals with questions of evaluation and quality control in the prevention of extremism, the promotion of democracy and political education. From May 2025, we expect to be involved in the SHIELDed project, funded by the European Commission's Internal Security Fund. The aim is to strengthen resilience to (online) hate speech and hate crime. A particular focus is on the development of interdisciplinary exchange formats in order to develop effective preventive measures to protect religious institutions and communities.

Deutsch-Griechisches Jugendwerk | Europe@DJHT
We are an international organisation that promotes German-Greek youth exchanges and professional youth worker exchanges.
The GGYO supports a wide range of activities, such as youth exchanges, exchanges of youth workers, internships, work shadowing and small projects. These enable young people from Germany and Greece to meet, exchange ideas and work together on topics that interest them. For this reason, we do not set any thematic guidelines, but rather the teamers develop their programme together with the young people. We provide funding via the so-called 'Zentralstellenverfahren', which means that organisations submit their applications via their umbrella organisations or state central offices.
Wir sind eine internationale Organisation, die deutsch-griechische Jugendbegegnungen und Fachkräfteaustausche fördert. Unser Ziel ist es, jungen Menschen aus Deutschland und Griechenland zusammenzubringen.

Projekt „Streetwork@online“:
Das Projekt streetwork@online ist ein bundesweites Projekt, welches das Ziel verfolgt, islamistisch-extremistischen Inhalten auf Social Media entgegenzuwirken. Das Projekt bietet Jugendlichen Informationen und Ressourcen, um sie für die Risiken von Radikalisierung zu sensibilisieren und ihnen dabei zu helfen, sichere und positive Online Communities zu schaffen und zu erhalten. Dafür wird in islamistisch geprägten Online-Netzwerken das Gespräch mit der Zielgruppe gesucht, um ihr Reflexionsvermögen zu stärken, Wertevermittlung gemäß der FDGO zu leisten und sie bei ihrer Identitätsbildung zu unterstützen. Das Team, bestehend aus 14 Mitarbeiter*innen an den Standorten Berlin, Hamburg und Düsseldorf ist auf Plattformen wie Instagram, Facebook oder TikTok und neuerdings auch auf Telegram und Discord unterwegs.
Das Projekt wird durch das BAMF (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge) gefördert.
Projekt CEOPS:
CEOPS steht für Center for Education on Online Prevention in Social Networks und bietet seit Juni 2021 bundesweit digitale Lehrgänge zum Thema Online-Prävention an.
In unseren mehrwöchigen, digitalen Lehrgängen werden junge Engagierte im Alter von 15-27 Jahren für extremistische Inhalte im Internet sensibilisiert und in Medienkompetenz geschult.
Im Sinne der Peer-Education sollen die Teilnehmenden dazu befähigt werden, sich in ihren eigenen Online-Communities selbstbewusst zu positionieren und niedrigschwelliges Online-Streetwork zu leisten.
Unser Programm richtet sich zum einen an Schüler*innen ab 15 Jahren und zum anderen an junge engagierte Menschen aus dem Kontext von Nichtregierungsorganisationen. Für beide Zielgruppen gibt es ein jeweils angepasstes Lehrgangsformat.
Das Projekt wird gefördert durch die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Migration, Flüchtlinge und Integration zugleich Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Antirassismus.
Local Streetwork online/offline:
Im Düsseldorfer Projekt „Local Streetwork online/offline“ stellen wir seit 2020 auf der Grundlage zugleich on- und offline basierter Maßnahmen Zugänge zu Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen mit einer Nähe zum islamistischen Extremismus her und entwickeln und erproben Methoden, um (Online-)Kontakte in persönliche Arbeitsbeziehungen lokal vor Ort zu überführen und mit ihnen Präventions- und ggf. De-Radikalisierungsarbeit zu leisten. Darin bieten wir mit unserem 5-köpfigen Team:
1. a) Online-Streetwork in einschlägigen sozialen Netzwerken der Zielgruppe unter
b) gleichzeitiger Offline-Anbindung durch lokale Streetwork-Arbeit in den Sozialräumen im Raum Düsseldorf.

Projekt Exon:
„EXON“ steht für „Extremismusprävention Online“ und ist seit 2024 ein politisches Bildungsangebot in Niedersachsen. Pädagogische Fachkräfte gelten als Schlüsselakteure in der Radikalisierungsprävention. Deshalb vermittelt das Projekt pädagogischen Fachkräften in der Jugendarbeit, Multiplikator*innen in der Präventionsarbeit und Verantwortlichen der kommunalen Jugendförderung und Schulsozialarbeit Wissen über islamistisch-extremistische Narrativen, Mobilisierungsstrategien aus der Peripherie des religiös begründeten Extremismus und Radikalisierungsfaktoren im Netz. Der Fokus wird auf die Entstehung, Wirkung und Prävention von gruppenbezogener Menschenfeindlichkeit gelegt. Im Austausch werden die Wirkungszusammenhänge von erfahrenem antimuslimischem Rassismus, Diskriminierung und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe diskutiert, eine intersektionale und gendersensible Perspektive eröffnet und Methoden zur Medienkompetenz erarbeitet. Darüber hinaus wird ein Angebot geschaffen, das die bereits bestehenden Sozialangebote der Lehrgangsteilnehmenden durch webbasierte Angebote in den Sozialen Medien zu ergänzen soll.

Young people don't need likes - they need our interest, attention and real contacts.
Gut Priemern, as a social provider of child and youth welfare, is committed to actively shaping the future of our society. A central pillar of this design is the promotion of mentally and physically healthy youth. This is not only crucial for the well-being of individual young people, but also has far-reaching effects on the entire social fabric and economic development of our society. It is therefore crucial that we, as a social agency, work together to create the conditions in which young people can grow up healthy. In addition to the provision of support services, this also includes preventive measures aimed at promoting health and resilience. It requires a holistic approach that takes into account both individual needs and structural challenges. Let's stand together to ensure that every young person has the best possible chance to grow into a strong and healthy personality. Because this is the only way we can secure a future worth living for all members of our society. Through the support of young people and our social commitment, we decisively shape the landscape of child and youth welfare.

babybedenkzeit | Europe@DJHT
Babybedenkzeit
Our baby simulators and models have been used for parenting 'internships' and prevention courses for over 20 years.
Young people experience first-hand the changes that come along with having a baby.
Restrictions in everyday life, lack of sleep, responsibility for the baby's prosperity and safety are experiences that cannot be learned in theory. At the same time, the parenting experience is often the first moment at which participants really think about their own future planning: How do I want to organize my life? Do I want children, how many and when? Do I want to live in a relationship and what should that look like? Where and how do I want to live? Who will help me when things get difficult?
What do I have to do now to achieve this?
How do I behave during pregnancy so that my baby is born healthy and what do I do if I feel overloaded?
During the parenting internship, participants are responsible for looking after a baby simulator for a few days and nights. He needs to be fed, changed and comforted, needs to be burped and cries if he is handled roughly. The baby's computer records how well or poorly it was cared for.
Various topics can be discussed when meeting with the participants: health and safety, life plans, development and baby care, alcohol and drugs during pregnancy, shaken baby syndrome and much more.
The pregnancy simulator shows the physical limitations of a pregnant woman in the 3rd trimester and is very suitable for giving boys access to the topic.
The experience of the parenting internship is unforgettable for most young people, influences their personal life and often career choices.

Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Radikalisierungsprävention und Demokratieförderung e.V. (IZRD) | Europe@DJHT
Religiously Motivated Extremism: Information, Prevention, Disengagement & Deradikalisation
The IZRD was founded in July 2022 as a non-profit organization by committed individuals from the fields of radicalization prevention, political education, security, sciences and economy. Our work focuses on the prevention of religiously motivated extremism, transnational forms of extremism, conspiracy narratives and other forms of group-focused enmity.
We have been implementing innovative projects in these areas of work since 2023, including offers for advice, further education and training. We also offer networking opportunities and expert discussions for our members. If you are also interested in our services, you are welcome to find out more here and on our project websites or contact us directly. We look forward to hearing from you and hearing your ideas for future cooperation. Because only together can we counter extremist manifestations in our society, both preventively and intervening.
We are looking forward to talk to you about our projects and programmes!

Das IZRD wurde im Jahr 2022 als gemeinütziger Verein gegründet. Schwerpunktbereiche der Arbeit sind die Prävention von religiös begründetem Extremismus, von transnationalen Extremismusformen, Verschwörungserzählungen und anderen Formen von GMF.
Das IZRD umfasst derzeit drei laufende Projekte:
Veritas - Beratungsstelle für Betroffene von Verschwörungserzählungen des Landes Berlin unterstützt vor allem das persönliche und berufliche Umfeld von verschwörungsgläubigen Menschen. Die erfahrenen Berater*innen bieten sowohl telefonische, Mail-, Online- sowie auch vor Ort Beratung in Berlin an. Das Team berät einzelfall-, lösungs- und ressourcenorientiert. Üblicherweise begleitet unser Team Klient*innen dabei mittel- und längerfristig über mehrere Sitzungen. Grundlage unseres Wirkens bildet die systemische Beratung, die nach Bedarf und Fähigkeiten der Mitarbeitenden um Ansätze der klientenzentrierten Beratung und Gestalttherapie sowie Kompetenzen in der Mediation ergänzt wird. Die Beratung erfolgt stets vertraulich und kostenfrei.
Der Fortbildungskurs - Kinderschutz, religiös begründeter Extremismus & antidemokratische Weltanschauungen bildet Fachkräfte von Berliner (Grund-)Schulen (Lehrkräfte, Schulsozialarbeiter*innen, Schulpsycholog*innen, o.Ä.) sowie der (offenen) Kinder- und Jugendarbeit fort. In acht Modulen lernen die Teilnehmenden, Situationen im Kontext von Radikalisierung und religiös begründetem Extremismus im Zusammenhang mit Kindeswohl und Kindeswohlgefährdungsfragen einzuordnen. Sie trainieren praxisnah, die Resilienz betroffener Kinder und Jugendlicher zu stärken und mit Erziehungsberechtigten sowie Kolleg*innen konstruktiv ins Gespräch zu gehen. Darüber hinaus erhalten sie einen Überblick darüber, welche Hilfs- und Unterstützungsangebote in Berlin bestehen und tragen als Multiplikator*in entsprechendes Wissen in Ihr Arbeitsfeld. Das gewonnene Wissen integrieren die Teilnehmenden in das (bestehende) Kinderschutzkonzept Ihrer Einrichtung.
Im Projekt „WelEx“ erarbeitet das IZRD eine umfangreiche E-Learning-Weiterbildung, die für Fachkräfte der (kommunalen) Jugendämter angeboten werden soll. Ziel ist es, innerhalb behördlicher Kinder- und Jugendhilfestrukturen Fachkräfte zu Weltanschauungs- und Extremismusbeauftragten (WelEx) weiterzubilden und sie dabei zu unterstützen, diese Zuständigkeit innerhalb behördlicher Strukturen zu etablieren und institutionell zu verankern.
Die Radikalisierungs- und Extremismusprävention ist eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Aufgabe. Auch Jugendämter werden maßgeblich und zunehmend mit Falllagen und Herausforderungen im Kontext von Radikalisierung und Extremismus konfrontiert, wenn diese den Kinder- und Jugendschutz und Fragen rund um Kindeswohlgefährdung mittelbar oder auch unmittelbar berühren. Somit sind die Prävention und Intervention von Radikalisierung und Extremismus auch zentrale Aufgabe der (kommunalen) Jugendämter und eng mit dem Kernauftrag des Kinder- und Jugendschutzes (nach SGB VIII) verwoben. Übergeordnetes Ziel des Projekts ist es, diesem spezifischen Auftrag in Form einer zentralen Zuständigkeit als WelEx-Beauftragte*r innerhalb der kommunalen Kinder und Jugendhilfe gerecht zu werden und die Jugendämter in der Qualifizierung und Implementierung dieses Auftrags und Handlungsfelds zu unterstützen.
Außerdem stellen wir das Methodenlehrbuch "Extrem. Kompetent. Beraten." für Berater*innen in der Umfeld-, Distanzierungs- und Ausstiegsarbeit im Kontext religiös begründeter Extremismus vor. Das Buch enthält neben einer Einführung ins Arbeitsfeld verschiedene Gesprächs- und Fragetechniken sowie über 60 konkrete Methoden und Übungen für verschiedene Sitzungsthemen der Beratung. Im Fokus steht dabei die Beratung von Klient*innen, die direkt als Distanzierungswillige bzw. Aussteiger*innen oder auch indirekt als Personen aus dem sozialen Umfeld (z.B. Eltern, weitere Familienangehörige, Freund*innen sowie auch Fachkräfte) mit religiös begründetem Extremismus zu tun haben. Das Lehrbuch ist an der Praxis orientiert und aus dieser heraus entstanden. Es werden kostenfreie Exemplare vor Ort herausgegeben.

Tandem – Koordinierungszentrum Deutsch-Tschechischer Jugendaustausch | Europe@DJHT
#MameToInDerHand – Youth exchange between Germany and the Czech Republic
Since 1997, the Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centres – Tandem, based in Regensburg and Plzeň, Czech Republic, have been the central specialist centres for youth and school exchanges between Germany and the Czech Republic. Tandem's mission is to facilitate friendly relations between young people from the neighbouring countries. Tandem supports the search for partners, offers financial support, German-Czech language animation and provides advice and qualifications on all topics relating to the planning and organisation of German-Czech encounters for children and young people. The services are aimed at voluntary and full-time youth work professionals, teachers from all types of schools, educators and young people. At Europe@DJHT, the Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centres – Tandem will be presenting their youth and school exchange programmes between Germany and the Czech Republic. The focus will be on the (funding) priority for the years 2024-2026 "#MameToInDerHand – Shaping together, acting sustainably!". The "sustainability" thematic area covers obvious topics such as environmental responsibility and climate protection. However, it can also be expanded to include topics such as well-being or sustainable social developments, such as strengthening civil society.
Tandem ist die zentrale Fachstelle für den Jugend- und Schulaustausch zwischen Deutschland und Tschechien. Wir helfen bei der Kontaktsuche, unterstützen bei der Durchführung von Projekten und fördern deutsch-tschechische Begegnungen finanziell.
Am Stand stellt Tandem seine Angebote im außerschulischen, schulischen, berufsschulischen und vorschulischen Bereich vor und informiert über aktuelle Fördermöglichkeiten und Veranstaltungen sowie über den Europäischen Freiwilligendienst, der bei Tandem Teil des Projekts ahoj.info ist. Bei einem Quiz können Besucherinnen und Besucher ihr Wissen über das Nachbarland Tschechien testen und an unserer Button-Maschine Buttons mit deutsch-tschechischen Slogans fertigen. Mit der kreativen Methode der Deutsch-Tschechischen Sprachanimation können sie zudem erste Worte Tschechisch mitnehmen.

Meet Europe
We want a Europe that takes responsibility in continuous cooperation for the successful development of young people. A Europe of citizens that gives everyone the opportunity to participate, shape, get involved and take responsibility, to learn and work everywhere and to live a diverse Europe. We have been implementing EU youth programs as a national agency in Germany since 1988. We see ourselves as mediators of the idea of a renewed social Europe. With our work, we offer young people as well as voluntary and full-time professionals and actors in the youth sector and - since 2022 also in the sports sector - a platform to get involved in and for Europe.
