JOETZ vzw
JOETZ is a recognized national youth association by the Flemish government, Department of Culture, sport and leisure. JOETZ is also partner of Solidaris, one of the major public, nonprofit health insurance funds in Belgium (also called a ‘mutualiteit’ or ‘ziekenfonds’).
JOETZ’s mission is to be a health promoter for children and young people (3-30 years old) in Flanders and Brussels. We strengthen and support a sensitized and solidarity-based society able to develop the health and well-being of its children and young people in a high-quality, sustainable and participative manner.
JOETZ wants to achieve this mission through various health projects (healthie -workshops, online and offline health content, health campaigns), activities (children's and youth camps, playground activities, children's events) & training (animator/youth leader trainings, training courses, peer to peer education) and does this for, by and with children and young people. This happens locally, supra-locally and internationally.
As a health promoter, JOETZ wants to have an impact on children and young people, always starting from its youth work DNA: in a fun and playful way.
JOETZ's specific core tasks are: health projects, activities & camps, trainings, international youth work and giving a voice to young people through our online platform ZAPmag.
