Participation in an international youth exchange at the European Youth Education Center Magdeburg is free of charge. Accommodation in shared rooms and full board are included. Underage participants are supervised by their team leaders or pedagogical staff of the EJBM.
80 years after the end of World War II, young people from across Europe come together in Magdeburg to explore the question: What does peace mean today — and what is our responsibility for it?
During this exchange, participants will examine historical and current conflicts, their impact on communities, and how to build a peaceful future together. Activities include project work on “War and Peace in Magdeburg”, workshops, and a visit to the city center to connect theory with real-world history.
As part of the project, the group will also create an interactive Google Maps timeline, marking important locations in the city related to war and peace. These spots will be enriched with videos, photos, and personal reflections, turning Magdeburg into a living memory map through the eyes of young Europeans.
Through creative group work, games, and intercultural learning, young people will reflect on themes like peace, justice, memory, and solidarity. Evening activities — from film nights to a game evening and a silent disco — round out the experience.

Youth Exchanges at EJBMRead more: Kinderrechte in Europa: Frieden und Menschenrechte für alle
Im Zentrum der Jugendbegegnung steht das Thema „Kinderrechte in Europa: Frieden und Menschenrechte für alle“ – hochaktuell in Zeiten von Krieg und Konflikten auf unserem Kontinent. Junge Menschen aus Deutschland, Frankreich und der Ukraine beschäftigen sich mit der Bedeutung von Kinderrechten und diskutieren, warum Frieden, Vielfalt und Zusammenhalt heute wichtiger denn je sind.
In kreativen Workshops, durch Sprachanimation und interaktive Projekte setzen sie sich mit aktuellen Herausforderungen auseinander und entwickeln eigene Friedensvisionen. Methoden wie künstlerisches Gestalten, Stadtrallyes und Tanzworkshops fördern Perspektivwechsel, Teamarbeit und interkulturelles Lernen. Ziel ist es, Bewusstsein für Menschenrechte zu stärken, Mut und Selbstvertrauen aufzubauen und internationale Freundschaften über Sprach- und Ländergrenzen hinweg entstehen zu lassen.

Youth Exchanges at EJBMParticipation in an international youth exchange at the European Youth Education Center Magdeburg is free of charge. Accommodation in shared rooms and full board are included. Underage participants are supervised by their team leaders or pedagogical staff of the EJBM.
The project will not only provide the young participants with new cultural perspectives but also help them reflect on their own sense of belonging and establish a deeper connection to others and to different cultures.
The project “Where Do I Belong? – Exploring Identity and Connection” is an international youth exchange designed to help young people from diverse cultural backgrounds explore, express, and connect with their personal and collective identities. Through creative workshops, discussions, and collaborative activities, the project aims to foster understanding, build connections, and celebrate the shared human experience of belonging.
This youth exchange seeks to answer the question "Where do I belong?" by encouraging young people to reflect on their individual and group identities, cultural backgrounds, and the ways in which they relate to others. By creating an environment that emphasizes openness and creativity, the project aims to empower participants to understand themselves and others better while promoting intercultural dialogue and inclusion.
Depending on the interests and skills of the participants, they could, for example, develop a theater play, a mural, or a musical composition.
In a creative process, the young participants will represent the theme of belonging in different societal and cultural contexts. The project will address both old and new forms of belonging: from traditional communities and family structures to modern, diverse concepts of belonging, such as in digital spaces or global communities.

Youth Exchanges at EJBMDie Teilnahme an dieser internationalen Jugendbegegnung kostet 30 Euro. Die Unterbringung in Mehrbettzimmern und Vollpension ist inbegriffen. Minderjährige Teilnehmer werden von ihren Teamleitern oder pädagogischen Mitarbeitern des EJBM beaufsichtigt.
Ziel der Jugendbegegnung ist es, den Teilnehmenden eine interaktive und erlebnisorientierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte Magdeburgs und den interkulturellen Einflüssen in der Stadt zu ermöglichen.
Ein weiteres zentrales Ziel ist die Förderung eines reflektierten Umgangs mit Migration und den Herausforderungen interkultureller Begegnungen. Die Jugendlichen sollen lernen, wie Migration Städte über die Jahrhunderte geprägt hat und welche positiven Beiträge Vielfalt leistet. Gleichzeitig setzen sie sich mit Vorurteilen und Stereotypen auseinander, insbesondere im Kontext des Anschlags auf den Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarkt 2024.
Vorkenntnisse? Nicht nötig! Französischkenntnisse sind kein Muss – die gemeinsame Sprache ist vor allem Offenheit und Neugier. Wenn du aber schon ein bisschen Französisch sprichst, ist das die perfekte Gelegenheit, deine Kenntnisse spielerisch anzuwenden und zu verbessern. Falls nicht: Es wird gedolmetscht.
Du solltest Spaß an Teamarbeit, Interesse an Geschichte, Medien und gesellschaftlichen Themen haben und bereit sein, dich aktiv einzubringen. Egal, ob du schon Erfahrung mitbringst oder einfach etwas Neues ausprobieren möchtest – du bist herzlich willkommen!
