HOW

Integrated approach

JES breaks down the walls between policy areas and develop projects at the crossroads of youth work, education, work and welfare and approaches Young people with attention to the different areas of their life.

Focus on competences

JES stimulates young people to discover themselves, to develop their talents and to push their boundaries.

Participative

JES starts from the World and reality  in which young people live and from their own ambitions. Young people  themselves are at the helm and increasingly become co-owners of their projects, neighbourhood and city.  .

Location-oriented

JES goes to the places where young people are and meet.

Policy-oriented

JES wants to play a leading role in the debate about being young in the city together with young people.

PARTNERS?

We are always looking for new opportunities and collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
