Learning through international encounters

In our international workshops, you'll collaborate creatively with peers from other countries. You'll exchange ideas and experience democratic action through active interaction. The Erasmus+ program supports us in this. We work in European networks and, since 2019, have held the Council of Europe's " Quality Label for Youth Centres ," which stands for human rights education.

Strengthening children and youth participation, in Berlin and in the EU

Participation is very important to us. Children's and youth parliaments and youth advisory councils from Berlin's districts meet regularly at our location. We actively participate in the European Union's Youth Dialogue . For example, we invite politicians to discussions with young people. As a municipal project related to youth dialogue, we are represented in the National Working Group.
