What we do
Dialogue and cooperation is at the heart of everything we do In the context of youth policy cooperation and the foreign cultural and educational policy of the German Federal Government, IJAB promotes international exchange and dialogue in the youth sector. In doing so, we contribute towards mutual understanding across national borders. IJAB brings together a range of civil-society and public- sector stakeholders and creates lasting relationships. IJAB keeps the channels of communication open even in challenging social or political situations. We offer a space for discourse and moderate processes that help stakeholders learn from each other and that inspire the professional and youth policy debate. As a network, we promote european and international dialogue on current issues and provide Inspiration to the child and youth services sector in Germany for their international activities. • We identify relevant issues together with our members and international partners. • Our events for professions provide organisations, stakeholders and other interested parties with a space for learning, dialogue and debate. • Through our international networks, we implement multilateral, thematic event formats and translate the outcomes into recommendations for the community of practice. As an office, we provide access to international experience and expertise and encourage mutual learning across the youth sector. • We observe and document youth policy developments around the world. • We contribute our national points of view to European and international professional communities and pick up on incoming impulses. • We contextualise international knowledge and document relevant insights so they are understood by specific target audiences.
As a partner to the federal ministry, we help strengthen international cooperation in the youth field.
• We give visibility to international youth policy processes, respond to impulses and prepare these for use by the community of practice. • We build and maintain equitable, long-term partnerships. • Our approaches are in line with recognised professional standards and ensure high-quality dialogue and exchange. • We promote participatory approaches in the context of international youth policy cooperation.
