The Youth Center (IJBS)

The youth center is the core of activities in today’s New Kreisau, bringing together young people from different countries for several days at a time, organizing student exchanges, conferences, and filling summers with artistic expression and instruction. Under the guidance of international teachers the young guests learn about the cultural traditions of different countries, find out about their common history - particularly resistance to dictatorships in the East and West - and debate current European and global issues. They play sports, develop their creativity and simply have fun together. Friendships are formed that transcend national borders, improving understanding within Europe.
