We work with and for young people (about 14 to 30 years) - aiming to provide them with high-quality offers for personal, professional and vocational education and to promote intercultural exchange in Saxony-Anhalt (our federal state).

In addition, we also offer occasional educational projects for children and people in our district. The main tasks are: supporting us during youth exchanges, training courses, and short-term volunteering projects.
