Woodland growth Flensburg: Together for sustainability and nature!

The Flensburg Youth Ring (Flensburger Jugendring) The Flensburg Youth Ring (Flensburger Jugendring) is the host of the youth centre DIE EXXE (www.flensburger-jugendring.de – only in German) and will try to invite one to three Flensburg youths to participate in your project. The Flensburger Jugendring, founded in 1949, unites youth associations and youth communities active in Flensburg. The purpose of the Flensburg Youth Ring is to promote youth work. As a representation of interests, it takes a stand vis-à-vis public, elected representatives and authorities on issues of youth policy and youth law. The youth centre "Exxe" is an open place used by children and young people aged between eight and eighteen. The staff of the "Exxe" try to create a place of trust, joy, creativity and experimentation. Waldwuchs Flensburg (Woodland Growth Flensburg) Waldwuchs Flensburg is a project that promotes climate and environmental protection in Flensburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Initiated by school pupil Jannis Ide and his family, pupils and volunteers plant trees in the areas provided. The Flensburg Youth Council took over the sponsorship and Mayor Simone Lange is the patron. The project offers workshops and awards tree sponsorships to promote awareness of sustainability and actively contribute to climate protection. Waldwuchs is supported by various partners, including the city council and local organisations. The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.
