Young people on the international stage
International exchange is what counts.
In all parts of society, you hear people
talk about networking, social media
and worldwide communication. This
makes it especially important to focus
on topics. Multilateral cooperation
is more important than ever before,
which applies particularly to youth
work.
The German National Committee for
international youth work (DNK) coordinates the representation of youth
interests from Germany on an international level. The DNK has been doing
this for almost 50 years now. Whether
within its own country, in the states
bordering the Baltic Sea or within
the United Nations, in the BodenseeBenelux cooperation (BBC+), or in the
European Youth Forum: the DNK is
engaged for the issues of young people on a worldwide basis.
One thing is clear for the DNK:
international cooperation is based
on exchange and dialogue. And this
should take place face-to-face, and
not only through online networking. Young people can be enabled to
face tomorrow’s challenges through
cooperation among each other and on
an equal level with politics, which is
to be taken by word.
The examples in this brochure will
show: young people are committed
and independent in making themselves heard for the issues of their
peers. Moreover, joint acting and
thinking out of your own box is even
making fun.
It’s obvious: children and young people
are able to stand up for themselves on
the international stage – if you just
let them.

The German National Committee for
international youth work
The German National Committee for international youth
work (DNK) represents the German youth organisations
in the multilateral field. This may sound complicated. In
fact, it isn’t: the DNK provides a bridge between Germany
and other countries. Thus it manages and coordinates the
import and export in the field of youth interests.
Coordination as the basis: the DNK is
a joint working group of the German
Federal Youth Council (DBJR), the
Council of Political Youth Organisations (RPJ) and the German Sports
Youth (dsj). The DNK’s purpose is to
bring together the interests of young
people active in youth organisations and to represent them
on an international level. Since 1963, the goal has been to
consider the variation of opinions and be able to speak out
with one strong voice.
4
The slogan is: “two are not enough of
them”. The DNK depends on bilateral
youth cooperation and exchanges.
These are organised by the German
Federal Youth Council, the Council
of Political Youth Organisations, the
German Sports Youth and their respective member organisations. As soon
as several partners are involved, the
DNK appears on the scene. The DNK
regularly sends young people as representatives to international events.The
DNK’s tasks and main topics are lined
out in a guideline adopted in 2008.
5
The DNK is backed by:
Council of Political Youth
­Organisations
The Council of Political Youth Organisations (RPJ) brings together the youth
organisations of the most important
political parties in Germany. Current
members of the RPJ are the young
social democrats (Jusos), the conservative youth (Junge
Union), the young democrats/ young left (Jungdemokraten/
Junge Linke), the liberal youth (Junge Liberale) and the
green youth (Junge Grüne). Since its ­foundation in 1950,
the RPJ’s goal has been to get young people ready for
democracy and educate them as independent citizens.
The RPJ’s work is not focused on lobby politics for the
respective parties its members belong to. The political
youth organisations have the opportunity to use their
strengths and competences for a common youth work on
a national and especially on an international level, using
the s­ tructures of the DNK.
6
German Federal Youth Council
The interests of children and young
people in Germany are the focus of
the work of the German Federal Youth
Council (DBJR). The DBJR is a strong
network of youth organisations and
regional youth councils in Germany.
About 5.5 million young people are
organised in the DBJR and its respective member organisations.
With its 25 member organisations,
five partner councils and 16 regional
youth councils, the DBJR represents
the variety of young people’s issues
and demands in Germany’s parliament and government, and functions
as a lobby for young people in public.
The DBJR member organisations
represent a broad spectrum of young
people’s engagement, ranging from
confessional, ecological, cultural to
humanitarian organisations. All the
DBJR members focus primarily on the
everyday life of young people, their
problems and demands. Therefore,
their issues are education, voluntary
engagement and voluntary work, sustainability, international cooperation,
migration, intergenerational justice,
and equal participation in society.
The youth organisations of the DBJR
depend on the voluntary commitment
of young people. Therefore, the DBJR
basically represents voluntary and
independent engagement. The young
people are organised in local groups.
Youth workers take on responsibility
for children and young people, give
them advice and support, and commit
themselves for youth’s issues.
The DBJR’s work, the representation of
young people in Germany, is enriched
by the cooperation with foreign youth
organisations in the field of inter­
national youth work.

German Sports Youth
Zukunft
Jugend investieren durch Sport
In die
der
8
No matter if it’s about fencing, football, handball, jujitsu, rowing or table
tennis. No matter which sport and
which state of Germany. Every young
person between 0 and 27 who enjoys a
sport in a club is organised in the German Sports Youth (dsj). That includes
more than 9.5 million children and
young people in 16 regional youth
councils, 53 youth organisations of
the head associations and 10 youth
organisations of sports confederations
with special duties. The youth departments form the basis of the 91,000
sports organisations all over Germany.
This makes the dsj, the youth organisation within the German Olympic
Sports Confederation (Deutscher
Olympischer Sportbund), a strong
partner that contributes its powers to
young people’s interests and is able to
get many things on the move.
Of course, the German Sports Youth
has high competences in sports. But
it is also active on the international
stage, enabling youth exchanges
between sports clubs, Olympic youth
camps and many other exchange
programmes for young people from
different nations, providing an
intercultural learning stage for youth.
Sports connect people, as the language of sports is international. The
dsj is also socially active, for example
in the prevention of violence and the
combat against racism. Engaged young
people have the opportunity to make
their experiences and try out their
abilities. Young people’s commitment
is highly demanded. Young people
can get involved in junior teams or
voluntary work and thus learn for their
lives there.
BBCplus –
the Bodensee-Benelux cooperation “plus friends”
After the DNK had already cooperated
with Switzerland and Austria for several decades within a Bodensee cooperation (related to the region around
Lake Constance, the English name for
“Bodensee”), this circle has constantly
grown in the last years, adding youth
councils from Belgium, Great Britain,
Ireland and Slovakia. The official language therefore changed from German
to English.
The cooperation focuses on the
exchange of opinions and experiences
of the respective youth councils and
compiles common positions for the
work in the committees of the European Youth Forum. As the challenges
are growing, the work of the cooperating youth councils is becoming more
and more intensive. European issues
and decisions are to be realised in
their own respective countries, and
the funding of youth projects with
an international approach is a highly
important work area.
Together we can achieve more: the
cooperation of the youth councils is an
engine for a border-crossing European
cooperation. The regularly held meetings support this approach and enable
a concrete work. Neighbourly help
works also well: Why not call Slovakia
or Ireland if a question in Germany
remains unanswered?
9
European Youth Forum
Everything started with the foundation of the EU. In 1978, 12 national
youth councils representing the
Member States were organised in the
original structure. After a new foundation and restructuration in 1997, the
European Youth Forum (“Youth Forum
Jeunesse” – YFJ) now includes about
100 national youth councils and international youth organisations. Therefore, the European Youth forum is the
biggest youth platform in the world.
The Forum’s vision is to be young
people’s voice in a Europe that regards
youth as equal citizens. The YFJ wants
to enable young people to participate
actively in society and improve their
living situation, and it wants to make
sure they grow up as world citizens.
10
The working plan of the YFJ, developed and approved by the member
organisations, defines its important
working areas: education, participation and support of youth politics and
programmes, development of youth
work, human rights, employment and
social politics are the forum’s important issues. The institutional partners
of the YFJ are the European Union,
the Council of Europe and the United
Nations. According to the respective
issue, the European Youth Forum
cooperates with its partners and promotes young people’s demands.
In addition to the strategic priorities, the partnerships
with youth organisations from other continents also play
an important role in the work of the YFJ. In the last years,
many events have been organised in cooperation with
youth councils in Africa, Latin America and in the Arab
region.
The DNK is an active participant in the European Youth
Forum. Its account is to represent Germany politically at
the Forum’s constitutional meetings. Young people from
Germany voluntarily represent the interests of the youth
councils and participate in work groups focusing on different topics. They also use opportunities to receive education and build up networks. Moreover, young people from
Germany are represented by some of the international
youth organisations in the meetings and activities of the
European Youth Forum.
11
The future is young – youth policy in the EU
96 million young people between
15 and 29 live in the 27 EU ­Member
States. To support this special period
of life full of opportunities and chal-
12
lenges, a new framework for cooperation in youth politics in Europe
has been worked out since 2008.
In accordance with the European
White Paper on Youth (2001), the
European Youth Pact (2005) and
the Structured Dialogue (2006), the
previous approaches to youth politics have been brought together to
develop an integral approach for EU
youth politics. On November 27, 2009,
the Council of the European Union
adopted the new EU strategy for youth
called “Investing and Empowering” for
the period 2010 to 2018.
A new strategy for youth …
The new EU strategy for youth EU
Youth Strategy has two objectives:
providing equal opportunities for
young people in education and
employment, and encouraging the
participation and social engagement
as well as young people’s solidarity.
The new youth strategy focuses on
a higher political commitment in the
important issues.
The new dialogue with youth …
The Structured Dialogue is a main
instrument of the EU youth strategy
and focuses on the decisions declared
in this strategy: young people have
the right to be consulted and included
when it comes to political decisions
concerning their lives. Through a
direct communication between youth
and policy makers, the Structured Dialogue shall provide for young people’s
claims to be recognised, using defined
topics and phases.
Germany is also realising the Structured Dialogue’s concept. To support
the involved parties, a coordination
bureau has been established at the
German Federal Youth Council. The
Structured Dialogue stands for a real
exchange between young people and
policy makers. It is not about planning and realising onetime events, but
about reaching a long-term effect and
ensuring the recurrent participation of
young people.
The events and actions within the
Structured Dialogue are quite diverse:
on a local and regional level, events
like youth conferences, seminars,
workshops or round tables with politicians talking about a respective topic
are organised.
13
Brussels calling …
The results of the different dialogue
processes from all 27 EU Member
States are collected and brought
together. The national coordination bureau passes the results from
Germany on to the European Steering
Committee. A national work group in
Germany supervises the work of the
coordination bureau and combines the
experiences of different institutions,
projects and levels in the field of the
Structured Dialogue.
Youth conferences
Every six months, a youth conference
is held in the respective country of
presidency in which results of the
previous conference are discussed.
Youth Delegates and Directors General
for youth affairs from the 27 Member
States participate in the conferences.
14
In Germany, those are representatives of the German Federal Ministry
of Family, Senior Citizens, Women
and Youth and representatives of the
federal states. Every young person is
allowed to apply for youth delegates,
which are chosen by the DNK.
Young people and the ministry representatives work together on these
conferences to develop a common
European position paper from the
results of the national dialogues. The
hereby defined recommendations are
passed on to the 27 EU youth ministers
as well as to the European Commission. Included in these recommendations is the demand to integrate these
positions into the political decisions of
the EU and the Member States.
Europe is more – Council of Europe
Europe is bigger than the European Union with its 27 Member States. With 47 member states, inhabiting about 800
million European citizens, the Council of Europe covers the
region from Russia to Portugal, from Azerbaijan to Iceland.
Its goal is a common European area where human rights,
democracy and rule of law are respected.
15
Youth gets involved ...
Youth on a level playing field ...
These goals and issues are important
to young people as well. Therefore,
the Council of Europe’s Directorate
of Youth and Sport offers broad
opportunities for youth organisations
to interfere. This is ensured by the
so-called “co-management”, which we
will discuss later.
The most important institutions in the
field of youth policy are the European
Steering Committee for Youth and
the Advisory Council on Youth. The
Steering Committee brings together
representatives of ministries and
organisations to encourage a closer
cooperation between governments on
European youth shall play an active
role within the European civil society.
Main objective of the Council of
Europe is therefore the encouragement of youth through inclusion
processes, measures concerning youth
policies and respective instruments.
The Council of Europe achieves this
goal by organising various activities and training courses. Moreover,
there are European youth centres in
Strasbourg and Budapest, where many
of the Council of Europe’s youth policy
measures are realised, and where
you can also organise seminars in
cooperation.
16
A programme for youth ...
youth issues. The Advisory Council is
made up of 30 representatives from
European youth councils and organisations who provide input on the Council
of Europe’s youth policy.
A special instrument of the Council
of Europe to foster greater youth
participation is the system of comanagement. The Joint Council on
Youth brings together young people
and policymakers to decide on priorities, objectives and budget of the
Council of Europe’s youth policy. This
system of co-management provides
the direct and equal participation of
representatives from European youth
organisations in the decisions made
by the member states of the Council
of Europe.
The Council of Europe’s programme in
the youth sector for the period 2010
to 2012 focuses on the following
priorities:
uman rights and democracy: youth
h
policy and youth work promoting
the core values of the Council of
Europe
l iving together in diverse societies:
youth policy and youth work promoting intercultural dialogue
social inclusion of young people
policy approaches and instruments benefiting young people and
children
17
Agenda 2020 ...
In 2008, the “Agenda 2020” was
adopted by the Ministers responsible
for Youth from the Council of Europe’s
member states. It points out future
developments to be reached in the
youth sector. The Agenda’s three main
topics are human rights and democracy, living together in diverse societies and the social inclusion of young
people.
The Advisory Council supports the
implementation of the Agenda 2020
and furthermore set up following core
issues: in addition to the human rights
and legal situation of young people,
it claims important the achievement
of a better recognition of youth issues
in politics and the support of better
measures and instruments for youth
policy in Europe.
18
Worldwide solidarity …
The Council of Europe’s window to the
world is the so-called North-South
Centre of the Council of Europe,
which tries to uphold the core values
of the Council beyond the European
continent. Youth is an important field
of action. Through training courses
and financing, the North-South Centre
supports youth organisations that aim
to realise partnership projects e.g. in
Latin America or in Africa.
Around the Baltic Sea
In the north, the advantages of
regional cooperation are focused:
Since the middle of the 1990s, youth
councils and youth organisations in
the Baltic Sea area have been cooperating closely together when it comes
to promoting youth policy issues.
The Baltic Sea cooperation includes
also non-EU states like Russia, Iceland
and Norway: the littoral regions of
the Baltic Sea cooperate in the Baltic
Sea States Sub-Regional Co-operation
(BSSSC). Due to successful lobbying
of youth councils, this cooperation
focuses on a strong inclusion of young
people. For three years, youth representatives have been member of the
Board which meets four times a year.
Once a year, a youth conference is
held, where recommendations from
young people’s view for the governments of the states and regions
around the Baltic Sea are formulated.
One concrete success was, for exam-
ple, that the European Union lined out
the special potential of young people
in its Baltic Sea strategy.
The Baltic Sea Secretariat for Youth
Affairs, located in Kiel at the Regional
Youth Council Schleswig-Holstein,
supports the cooperation between
youth organisations, governments and
the Council of the Baltic Sea States
(CBSS). In the CBSS “expert group”, the
youth councils of the Baltic Sea area
have always been represented, and are
strongly promoting a common youth
policy within the Baltic Sea region.
19
Broadening your mind
Go East: Eastern Europe
Belarus
The political changes in 1989 in Eastern Europe meant for youth work: zero
hour, a totally new beginning. The
former youth work structures, often
enacted by the government, had to be
democratised. The DNK has supported
the Central and Eastern European
countries from the very beginning.
An especially important cooperation
is the one with youth groups from
Belarus. While the country finds
itself in a changing process and still
struggles under dictatorial structures,
many youth organisations work under
difficult circumstances according
to democratic principles. Many of
the problems concern human rights
and political liberties. Delegation
visits and youth exchanges between
Germany and Belarus help young
people get to know their situation and
develop projects and ideas for a better
future. The cooperation is realized
with a close network and in coordination with youth councils from other
European countries.
A lot of things have been achieved in
the last more than 20 years. However,
the youth representations in these
countries have to be further supported
and included into existing European
structures, to ensure that youth work
keeps playing a leading role.
20
South-Eastern Europe
Since the end of the Balkan civil
wars, some time has passed and many
things have changed: besides the still
necessary process of coping with the
past, new youth structures have been
established. In several countries the
founding of youth councils is being
processed, supported by the European
Youth Forum. The DNK has cooperated
with youth organisations from the
region for several years, and is also
supporting the founding of new youth
councils.
21
Young people at the United Nations:
the Youth Delegates
Young people also have a thing or two to add to discussions at the United Nations. The inclusion of Youth
Delegates to the national delegations shall provide for
“the voice of youth” to be strengthened in the meetings. Since 2005, the
DNK together with the United Nations
Association of Germany (DGVN) have
been sending two German Youth Delegates to New York annually.
To make sure they can take a stand for
young people’s issues in New York, the
Youth Delegates go on a “tour of Germany” to prepare themselves appropriately. In these six months, they
have many diverse tour stops at youth
councils, in schools and on festivals
and other events. The Youth Delegates
get to know the dimensions of “being young” in Germany
and meet for discussions with the participants on the 15
topics of the UN World Programme of Action for Youth and
other issues, for example the Millennium Development
Goals.
22
International Youth Delegates
Not only Germany sends Youth
Delegates – up to 30 states include
young people in their delegations, as
demanded by the General Assembly.
To achieve a better cooperation, youth
delegates from all over Europe come
together for a preparing weekend
which is organised by the European
Youth Forum and a national youth
council.
New York, New York …
After their tour of Germany and further
preparation meetings, the Youth
Delegates leave for their big UN trip to
New York.
In New York, the two German Youth
Delegates work in close cooperation
with the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations. Important
for the German Youth Delegates’ work
is the Mission’s division cooperating
with the UN General Assembly’s Third
Committee (Social, Humanitarian, and
Cultural Committee).
A resolution for youth …
Every two years, the UN General Assembly adopts a youth
resolution. In preparation of this, the Youth Delegates
give advice to the German delegation, draw up text scripts
and attend meetings and negotiations together with the
respective diplomats. Goal of the international Youth
­Delegates is the adoption of a powerful and clear resolution that helps improve the situation of young people all
over the world. After all, more than 50% of the world’s
population is under 25!
23
Gaining attention with a speech …
Addressing important topics …
To advocate on behalf of the young people and youth
councils from Germany, deliver their statements and clear
out important issues, the Youth Delegates usually make a
speech within the Third Committee of the General Assembly. In the last years, the Youth Delegates have clearly
demanded the
full ratification of
the Convention
on the Rights of
the Child and its
optional protocols. They have
criticised the
discrimination of
minorities in Germany and other
countries, and
expressed their
disappointment
about the lack
of political will
to fight climate
change.
The group of international Youth
Delegates organises several common activities, like the so-called side
events. The Youth Delegates invite
different experts and enable visitors
to deal with topics like microcredit or
unemployment from young people’s
point of view.
24
Back to Germany …
After their stay with the United
Nations, the Youth Delegates take
up more opportunities to inform
young people in Germany about their
engagement. The documentation of
the results and the preparation of
the newly chosen Youth Delegates
concludes their mandate.
… and once again in New York
Every year in February, the UN Commission for Social Development
(CSocD) meets. Next to other social
groups, youth is a central topic. The
crucial preparation of the youth resolution is promoted here. Therefore,
the Youth Delegates are in New York
once again in order to make the voice
of young people in Germany and in the
world heard.
The World Programme of Action for
Youth
The World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY) was
adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1995 and covers
10 priority areas. In 2007, five current issues were added.
Education, employment, hunger & poverty, environment,
participation and HIV/AIDS are just a few of the WPAY
youth priority areas.
The programme also includes implementation guidelines
to support governments in realising the WPAY goals in
their respective countries.
The documentation of the tour of
Germany, news from the international
youth area and what the Youth Delegates have in mind, can be followed
on the German Youth Delegate page
(www.jugenddelegierte.de) as well as
on Facebook and Twitter.
You will also find a collection of the
most important UN documents there.
25
A solid footing: the legal and financial status of youth
work in Germany
An effective youth work depends
on public and legal support. In the
German Child and Youth Welfare
Act (Kinder- und Jugendhilfegesetz),
the special role of youth councils is
described. In addition to the legal
basement, financial backing to support young people and youth work is
needed as well: as long ago as 1950,
the Federal Government announced
a federal plan on youth which led
into the Child and Youth Plan of the
Federation in 1993.
More than 60 years of youth welfare
on a national level – that has also
been a bit of contemporary history.
While at the beginning the expectations were that young people would
come to be “healthy in terms of body,
employment, mind and morals”, the
26
definitions have changed over the
years: the current framework conditions of the supporting instrument
declare that young people may freely
develop their personality, assume their
rights, and fulfil their responsibility in
society and state.
In concrete, this means that projects
of child and youth welfare, including
youth work, are initiated and supported on a national level. Diversity is
what counts in this context: whether
it is about cultural, ecological or
humanitarian activities, combating
right-wing extremism, imparting
media literacy, or about international
youth work – a wide range of young
people’s dedication is supported and
funded by the Child and Youth Plan of
the Federation.
