Our values
The work of IJAB is value-based. It is founded upon the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the free democratic basic order of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany. We help build democratic, open and diverse societies in which all individuals – regardless of their gender, age, social or ethnic background, faith or sexual orientation – enjoy the same rights. We stand for peaceful coexistence and solidarity in the world, and for a united Europe. The preservation of our natural habitats is of major importance to us. We work to ensure that young people experience the world as a place they can help shape and in which they can make a difference. We help create the necessary preconditions. The hallmarks of our cooperation with partners in Germany, Europe and around the world are dialogue and equality. We consistently review our actions and are mindful of changes in society and the emergence of new challenges. We expressly reject the marginalisation of people through words and actions, antidemo- cratic movements, violence, hate and efforts to divide society. We remain committed to these values both within and outside of IJAB.
