European Youth Work - Bavarian Youth Council

From the very beginning, international youth work and, in particular, the European aspect thereof has been an important part of youth work in Bavaria. For more than 70 years, the Bavarian Youth Council (Bayerischer Jungendring or BJR) has been working for peaceful coexistence in Europe and bringing young people together.

Since our 2017 statutory reform, Europe has been firmly anchored in the preamble of the BJR statutes: “We stand by a Europe of solidarity that guarantees peace and cohesion. Together, we are actively committed to the preservation and youth-oriented further development of the European Union.”
