What we do
Germany
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.
