Jugendpresse Deutschland

The Jugendpresse Deutschland e.V. (JPD) is a youth-owned youth media organization that has served as an umbrella organization for 12 nationwide youth media associations since its founding in 2003. Based in Berlin and with over 15,000 members across Germany, the JPD is a central platform for young media creators.

• Educational Seminars and Workshops: The JPD offers nearly 300 seminars annually to impart media literacy and journalistic skills. This includes the Mobile Media Academy, the Youth Media Workshop in the German Bundestag, and the Youth Media Convention[2][4].
• Projects and Events: The organization regularly hosts events such as the Youth Politics Days, the Student Newspaper Competition of the States, and the political event newspaper politikorange. These initiatives allow young media creators to experiment with journalism and network with others[2][4].
• Youth Press Card: The association issues a Youth Press Card, which provides proof of non-commercial journalistic work and grants free entry to events[2][4].

The JPD sees itself as a network of media-enthusiastic young people that imparts journalistic skills with passion and offers an independent platform for engagement, exchange, and self-realization. The organization critically engages with the concerns and needs of young media creators as well as societal and media developments and promotes active and reflective discourse[4].

• International Networking: The JPD is a member of the European Youth Press and regularly organizes reporting trips and exchange programs to European countries to promote international exchange[1].
• Non-Profit Work: The work of the JPD is recognized as non-profit and is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs and the Federal Agency for Civic Education[1].
• Political Participation: With the Youth Politics Days and other political initiatives, the JPD strengthens the political participation of young people and promotes their involvement in societal and political processes[1][2].

The JPD is the umbrella organization of 12 regional youth media associations and coordinates cross-border tasks. The organization works closely with other societal actors and has a board with prominent figures from media and politics[1][4].

The Jugendpresse Deutschland e.V. is thus a central player in the field of young journalism and media education in Germany, supporting and promoting young people in their professional and personal development.
