Seminar
6-10 December 2026 | Leipzig, Germany
Youth Work Today – Facing New Realities is an international youth worker exchange taking place in Leipzig, Germany, from 6–10 December 2026. It brings together professionals and volunteers active in youth work from Germany, France and Ukraine to reflect on current challenges faced by young people and youth work, exchange experiences and develop practical approaches for their daily practice.
The programme focuses on three main topics: media education, young people’s mental health and international youth work. Throughout the seminar, we will explore how these areas are changing the realities of youth work and how youth work can contribute to democratic values, dialogue and social cohesion.
The exchange is based on non-formal learning and peer exchange. Participants will contribute their own experiences and perspectives while also receiving input from external experts. The programme includes thematic workshops, participant-led sessions, language animation, networking opportunities and open evening formats.
We are looking for participants who:
The project aims not only to provide new knowledge and methods, but also to create space for participants to compare youth work realities across countries, learn from each other and build professional connections that can continue beyond the seminar.
The project is organised by Satellites – Youth Mobility Projects e.V., supported by VILLA Leipzig, co-funded by Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and the Franco-German Youth Office (DFJW/OFAJ).
Application deadline: 20 September 2026.
