Jugend im Museum

Jugend im Museum e.V. (JiM) is a non-profit organization established in 1972 that is dedicated to the cultural education and global learning of children and young people. With a comprehensive and creative course offering, JiM paves the way for a diverse and inspiring educational experience.

• Art Courses and Workshops: JiM offers a wide range of courses, including painting, drawing, photography, pottery, building, fashion design, and creating videos and animations. These courses take place in close collaboration with over 20 Berlin museums, allowing participants to develop their artistic skills in practical workshops and exhibitions[2][3].
• Holiday Programs and Children's Birthdays: JiM organizes exciting holiday courses and children's birthday parties that invite children and young people aged 4 to 18 to satisfy their curiosity and develop new skills.
• Workshops: The organization operates two of its own workshops, the JiM Workshop Hortensie in Steglitz-Zehlendorf and the JiM Workshop Rigaer in Friedrichshain, where participants can shape their creative world[2].

The main mission of JiM is to provide children and young people with access to cultural education and global learning. The organization promotes creativity, tolerance, and understanding of other cultures and technological developments. Through encounters with Berlin museums and practical experimentation in workshops, participants are encouraged to become active and develop their own perspectives. JiM places great importance on engagement with art, culture, nature, and technology to bridge knowledge of the world and world culture[1][3].

• Inclusion and Diversity: JiM offers free participation in its courses for refugee children and young people to ensure that everyone can participate regardless of their background[3].
• Child Protection: The organization has developed a comprehensive child protection concept that protects the rights of minor participants and safeguards them from emotional, physical, and sexual violence[1].
• Cooperations and Partnerships: JiM works closely with various partner institutions in Berlin, including museums and schools, to implement projects for cultural education and ensure the quality of the offerings[1][3].

JiM is a member of the State Association for Cultural Children and Youth Education Berlin e.V. and the specialist committee "International" of the Federal Association for Cultural Children and Youth Education. The organization is recognized as a district-wide provider of free youth assistance and is supported by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion of the State of Berlin[1][2].

Through its long-standing work and its dedicated community, Jugend im Museum e.V. makes an important contribution to the cultural and personal development of children and young people in Berlin.
