IJAB strengthens and shapes international youth work and international youth policy cooperation across Europe and around the world. We promote international exchanges and programmes with the aim of creating greater mutual understanding, offering international learning opportunities, enabling more participation, and combating xenophobia, racism and violence.
IJAB implements projects on youth policy-related issues together with its international partners and promotes the exchange of expertise within the child and youth services community, bringing together stakeholders from Germany and abroad to this end. IJAB informs and advises child and youth services providers, policymakers and administrators and offers training courses, expert exchanges, handbooks and manuals, and specialist publications. It also advises young people on going abroad and obtaining funding.
IJAB, the International Youth Service of the Federal Republic of Germany, was established in 1967. Today, it works on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, its own member organisations and other youth work providers.
JUGEND für Europa, the National Agency for the EU programmes Erasmus+ Youth, Erasmus+ Sport and European Solidarity Corps in Germany, is affiliated with IJAB.
IJAB lays the groundwork for successful international youth work, providing unbiased advice to young people, youth work experts and a wide variety of organisations about going abroad and obtaining funding for this purpose.
IJAB offers experts, organisations and youth policy stakeholders opportunities for training and career development. The activities on offer range from webinars and expert conferences to coaching on organisational development. It regularly publishes specialist materials that help experts remain up to date on developments in the field. Practical tools and aids, such as an online multilingual glossary of child and youth services terms and handbooks on specialist topics, assist experts in their day-to-day work.
