The Jugendstiftung Baden-Württemberg has over 40 years of experience in innovative educational work, advising, supporting, and documenting around 140 projects annually. Through its own programmes and activities, it addresses current social issues, promotes innovation, and works with partners and young people to shape new directions in youth education. Key initiatives include the “Meldestelle Respect!” reporting office against hate speech, the Qualipass certificate of qualification, the “Mitmachen Ehrensache” educational campaign, and the “Menschenrechte – deine Rechte” (Human Rights – Your Rights) platform.
Since 1999, the Youth Foundation has operated the Youth Network (www.jugendnetz.de), a unique youth information service in Germany. It provides young people with independent, non-commercial information and guidance to help them make informed decisions, understand their rights, and strengthen their media and information skills. The network also connects regional youth portals, a project database, and institutions and services in the youth sector.
