Key Products and Services
edit- Seminars and Projects: The educational team of the Jugendakademie organizes over 80 seminars and projects annually, which are located in two main subject areas: cooperation with schools and international work. These events aim to empower young people in essential life skills such as teamwork, independent action, and conflict resolution[3][4].
- Conference Center and Accommodations: The Jugendakademie offers a conference center with full board and a total of 100 beds (with the possibility of additional beds). The house is divided into four separate units, allowing smaller groups to be accommodated separately. It is an ideal place for youth groups, adult groups, and family groups for weekends, weeks, or longer holiday activities[3][5].

The academy stands for values such as inclusion, social responsibility, and the promotion of intercultural understanding.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
edit- Financial Sustainability: To ensure long-term funding, the support association of the Jugendakademie has launched a donation matching campaign. All donations made by December 31 will be doubled by the Bethe Foundation to ensure that the academy can continue its important work in the future[3].
- Social Sustainability: Through the multitude of seminars and projects, the Jugendakademie contributes to social sustainability by empowering young people in various areas of life and providing them with the opportunity to acquire valuable skills.
