Jama Nyeta!

Creating new together

Jama Nyeta is a socially committed association that focuses on supporting people with a history of flight or immigration. The majority of our target group comes from West Africa, but also from other regions of Africa and the world.

Welcome to
Jama Nyeta e.V.

“Jama Nyeta” means “Developing together” and describes the core of our work: we want to develop new ideas and projects, design spaces for exchange and networking, and create images of the future for a better society. And we want to help others develop – together and at eye level. What drives us is our vision: a world of equality.

Through our work, we are committed to ensuring that all people can realize their right to participation: in society and politics, in culture, business and work, in Germany and Europe, in West Africa and around the world. Our diverse team – most of whom have a migrant background themselves – forms a bridge in the encounter between people with and without migration experience.

For a world of equality

What we do

Our offer in Germany

In Germany, we support people with a history of flight and migration – primarily from West African countries, but also from other parts of the world. Each person who comes to us receives individual counseling and sustainable orientation on their path. In doing so, we create safe spaces for exchange and encounter in a trusting atmosphere.

Key actions in the field of youth

Key action 1: Learning mobility of individuals

In this action line, mobility projects for young people and youth work professionals are funded. These include bi-, tri- and multilateral youth exchanges, mobility projects for professionals, Discover EU inclusion and youth participation projects. Non-formal and informal learning opportunities support young people’s personal and professional development. They also promote their active citizenship and participation in democratic life. Capacity building in organizations in the youth field will in turn promote the quality of youth work and the (vocational) education and training of professionals in Europe.

Key action 2: Cooperation between organizations and institutions

This action area focuses on networking and collaboration for capacity building between professionals, private and public agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Collaborative partnerships as well as small-scale partnerships are encouraged. This enables the recognition of competencies from different educational sectors/areas. Furthermore, there is the possibility for the professionals or their institutions to methodically develop training and mobility offers for young people and professionals.

Key action 3: Support for political development and cooperation (central implementation)

Key Action 3 supports policy cooperation at European Union level, contributing to the development of new policies that can lead to modernization and reform in the youth field at European Union and system level.
The funded actions are managed centrally by the European Executive Agency for Education and Culture (EACEA).

How we support people in West Africa

In Africa – especially in the west of the continent – we want to give people prospects for the future through sustainable projects in cooperation with local partner organizations. Through our direct support, we can directly improve local livelihoods and offer long-term prospects.
