The course focuses on resilience, mental health and wellbeing in everyday youth work. Participants will learn how to listen actively, ask supportive questions, recognise stress and emotional overload, create psychologically safe spaces and maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
The programme combines discussion, peer learning, reflection, role-play, case work and practical activity development. Participants will design and test their own methods and jointly create a Resilient Youth Work Toolkit that they can use in their organisations.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen deutsch-französische Geschichte und französische Spuren in Magdeburg. Ausgangspunkt ist das DFJW-Projekt „63 Orte deutsch-französischer Geschichte“ mit der digitalen Plattform Cartorik. Sachsen-Anhalt weist vielfältige historische Verbindungen zu Frankreich auf, ist auf der Plattform bislang jedoch nicht mit einem Ort vertreten. Die Jugendlichen untersuchen deshalb, wo ihnen Frankreich in Magdeburg begegnet und welche Geschichten diese Orte erzählen.
In deutsch-französischen Kleingruppen recherchieren die Teilnehmenden historische Quellen, erkunden ausgewählte Orte und beschäftigen sich mit Migration, religiöser Vielfalt, Flucht, kulturellem Austausch und Erinnerungskultur. Workshops, Exkursionen und Gespräche mit lokalen Fachleuten vermitteln Methoden der historischen Recherche und Medienarbeit.
Die Ergebnisse werden kreativ aufbereitet, beispielsweise als Kurzvideos, Podcasts, digitale Karten oder Fotostorys. Daraus entstehen Vorschläge für neue deutsch-französische Erinnerungsorte, die für eine mögliche Einreichung bei Cartorik vorbereitet werden. Sprachanimation, Reflexionsrunden und gemeinsame Freizeitaktivitäten fördern den Austausch und die Zusammenarbeit in der Gruppe.
Die Begegnung richtet sich an 15- bis 17-jährige Jugendliche aus Deutschland und Frankreich. Vorkenntnisse zur deutsch-französischen Geschichte oder Erfahrung mit Medienprojekten sind nicht erforderlich. Minimale Französischkenntnisse genügen. Deutsch und Französisch werden als Arbeitssprachen genutzt; Sprachmittlung und Sprachanimation unterstützen die Verständigung.
Das Angebot passt besonders zu dir, wenn du andere Jugendliche kennenlernen, Magdeburg aus einer neuen Perspektive entdecken und Geschichte kreativ vermitteln möchtest.
