About Youth+
A youth organisation from Neu-Isenburg
Youth+ was founded in 2023 by people from different backgrounds. We work with young people aged 13 to 30 in Neu-Isenburg and the surrounding area: in regular workshops and meetings at home, and in Erasmus+ projects with partners across Europe.

Our mission
We create spaces where young people learn, express themselves and take action in their community, especially those who rarely get such chances.
We work through non-formal education: workshops, dialogue circles, creative and neighbourhood activities where young people learn by doing, reflect together and help shape the programme. Our main topics are inclusion, mental health and well-being, art and creativity, media literacy, sustainability and active citizenship.

How we work
Youth work that comes back
-
Local and regular
Most of what we do happens in Neu-Isenburg, in monthly workshops and community circles, so young people can come back, grow with the group and bring friends.
-
Open to all young people
Our activities are open to every young person, whatever their background, language or experience. We pay special attention to young people who face more obstacles, for example because of their origin, money, health or education.
-
Young people take part in deciding
Young people choose topics, help prepare the sessions and take on roles as volunteers and co-facilitators. Many ideas for our activities come from them.
-
Learning by doing
We use non-formal methods: art, theatre, storytelling, movement, games and discussion, always followed by reflection on what we learned.
-
Together with the community
We work with residents, volunteers and local organisations, for example in a network of about ten local groups against disinformation in 2024.
-
Europe as part of the local work
Erasmus+ projects grow out of our groups and come back to them: we prepare at home, meet young people from other countries, and share the results in Neu-Isenburg.
Erasmus+ in our youth work
From Neu-Isenburg to Europe and back
-
It starts at home
Topics come from our groups in Neu-Isenburg: what young people talk about in workshops and circles becomes the theme of a project.
-
We prepare and go
Before an exchange the group meets in Neu-Isenburg to prepare the topic, the programme and the trip. Then we meet young people from other countries, abroad or as hosts in Germany.
-
We bring it back
After the project the participants share what they learned with other young people at home, in a workshop, a presentation or a local action, and receive a Youthpass.
