history
The djo-German Youth in Europe was founded on April 8, 1951 at Ludwigstein Castle as the German Youth of the East as a youth organization for young people who were expelled from their homeland . The aim was to facilitate their integration into post-war society. At that time, the DJO also included national teams who felt connected to a certain area of origin in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. It saw itself as a “ völkischer Jugendbund ” which wanted to “ awaken the will and the willingness to repopulate the eastern region in the entire German youth and keep it alive ”.
In the 1970s, members' access to Eastern Europe changed. The children and adolescents organized in the djo had not experienced any escape or displacement themselves, but had grown up in West Germany. In this context, the German Youth of the East gave itself the new name djo-German Youth in Europe in 1974 - the letters djo have been retained to this day as a symbol of the association's origin.
In 1990 the six regional associations of the German Rainbow Youth Association, a youth association founded in 1989 during the political transition in the GDR , the djo-German youth in Europe, joined.
Since opening up to migrant self- organizations in 2000 at the federal level, the djo-German youth in Europe has developed into an umbrella organization for migrant youth associations . She advocates equal recognition and participation of migrant youth associations and migrant self-organizations.
Since the resolution of the 55th djo Federal Youth Day in March 2010, there has been a new basic program of djo-German youth in Europe, which is called djo guidelines. This basic program describes the diversity of the association, its goals and its fields of activity.
