Association of Saxon Organisations for Youth Education

is an approved organisation for youth welfare. It is an umbrella association that has united local and regional organisations since March 1992.

In 2012 LJBW will celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The members of  LJBW are operating in 12 towns and administrative districts in the Free State of Saxony. There they design activities of extracurricular youth education, international youth exchange and kids’ recreation. These projects do not only have an impact on the particular territory, but across Saxony and also partly across Europe. In particular members, who work federal-statewide, are concerned.

The organisation’s occupation is consistent with the principles of the German law for welfare for children and young people, in particular with each young person’s right to encouragement of her/his development and education to become a responsible and social personality.

Since 20 years, the association has aimed to design the scenery of youth welfare with manifold activities of members and to develop new ideas. The leading of the young generation to miscellaneous key aspects of nature, science and technology developed more and more to be the profile of the association. As an umbrella association,  LJBW is able to fulfil fulfill its counselling and supporting function, not only for its members, but also for partners and people who show an interest. This is realised by intentions of further education and counselling about subsidies and projects.

The Association of Saxon Organisations for Youth Education is motivating girls and boys to work on scientific and technical topics in their spare time. The extracurricular youth education of  LJBW, oriented on natural sciences and technology, follows annually changing current key aspects of science and society:

In 2012 it is the UNO International Year of Renewable Energies and in Germany the year of Future Project Earth. Apart from that, the UN-Decades of “Education for Sustainable Development”, “Water-Source of Life” and the “International Decade of Biological Diversity” continue.
