Activities
Our scope
As a German-Russian, international NGO, DRJUG e.V. primarily focuses on the promotion, support and development of Russian-German friendship and cooperation at the level of young adults. In addition, the association is active in other Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine and Poland. The work of the DRJUG e.V. primarily concentrates on the organization of mostly one-week international youth forums where socially, politically, economically or culturally committed young adults are given the opportunity to exchange views.
Our intention
The focus lays on the long-term continuation of these forums, which are initiated as part of the association, by individual former participants of other projects, or association members. DRJUG pursues a multiple strategy, trying to reach as many people as possible with its projects. In this way, active and sustainable connections between East and West should arise.
Our goal
In this sense, the DRJUG association also pursues the goals of continuing the contacts of the Russian-German Youth Parliament, the expansion of existing contacts and networks between Russian and German youth and young adults, promotion of communication between the Petersburg Dialogue and the Russian-German Youth Parliament and promotion of civic engagement of young people for charitable or peacemaking purposes. It is important to note that the association is selflessly active and pursues no self-economic purposes and goals.
