    Stiftung wannseeFORUM

    The Stiftung wannseeFORUM is a renowned institution for political and cultural education for youth and adults, located in the Berlin district of Wannsee. Founded nearly 70 years ago as "Wannseeheim für Jugendarbeit e.V.", the foundation has developed since 2011 into a central place for intercultural exchange and democratic education.

    Key Products and Services

    • Seminars and Projects: The wannseeFORUM offers a variety of seminars and projects for young people aged 14 and above, as well as training for staff from youth work and schools. The focus areas include political education, performing and visual arts, music, new media, girls' and women's education, participation, gender, and international exchange[2][3].
    • Conference Venue: The listed premises, including the country house, the coach house, and the modern seminar house Atrium, are available for seminars and conferences. The spacious lakeside property at Pohlesee provides an idyllic setting for discussions and relaxation[1][3].
    • Berlin Youth Forum and polli-magazin: The wannseeFORUM organizes the Berlin Youth Forum, the largest youth political event in Berlin, and operates the online magazine polli-magazin, which is written by young journalists and politicians[2].

    Mission and Values

    The Stiftung wannseeFORUM represents democratic fundamental values and stands for openness to the world, diversity, and equal rights for all, regardless of gender, religion, social, and cultural background. It is not committed to any specific party, religion, or other interest group and promotes an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect[1][2][3].

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    • Monument Protection and Maintenance: The foundation is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of the listed country house and its associated garden, which presents a constant challenge. Donations are therefore necessary to continue this work[1][3].
    • Youth Participation: The project "WANNSEEforum-mitMACHEN" has led to the establishment of a youth advisory board that strengthens the participation of young people in the foundation. The youth advisory board is structurally integrated into the decision-making processes of the foundation[3].
    • International Cooperation: The wannseeFORUM works as a cooperation partner with other institutions in Germany and abroad and is a member of various umbrella organizations and networks, such as the Working Group of German Educational Institutions and the LKJ Berlin[3].

    Acknowledgments and Certifications

    The Stiftung wannseeFORUM has received numerous acknowledgments and certifications, including the "Council of Europe Quality Label for Youth Centres" certification from the Council of Europe and recognition as a provider of the Federal Agency for Civic Education[3].

    The wannseeFORUM is a vibrant place of encounter and learning that actively participates in societal discourse and supports young people in their development.
