structure

The Protestant youth work in Berlin, Brandenburg and Silesian Upper Lusatia takes place to a large extent in the parishes. A common form is the young community or similar youth groups. In addition, there are various offers of open youth work that are less dependent on continuous participation.

In the church districts, district youth conventions are formed from young people from the parishes, from special projects and branches of work and a professional employee. He is jointly responsible for youth work in the church district, plans his own projects and represents the Protestant youth of the church district.

The regional youth assembly speaks for the entire youth in the regional church. It includes delegates from church circles, from independent works and associations and professionals in child / youth work as well as volunteers. Its tasks are similar to those of a parliament in that it represents the EJBO in the church and in public, positions itself on content-related topics and plans its own major events. It usually meets twice a year, with the youth chamber taking over its duties between its meetings.

Independent plants and associations

In addition to youth work in parishes and church districts, independently working organizations and associations are also part of the EJBO. For example, in some parts of the regional church, the YMCA takes on almost all of the youth work in cooperation with the parishes.

Plants and associations represented by the State Youth Assembly are:

Content focus

Against homophobia

Under the title “Colorful like God's creation - love has many colors”, the EJBO has been campaigning against homophobia since autumn 2011. In addition to the content-related discussion, the development of brochures and workshops, she also works in church politics for greater acceptance of homosexual, bisexual and transgender people. In spring 2015, for example, she signed a motion to the regional synod of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia, which provided for the opening of weddings for same-sex couples, and which was resolved at the 2016 spring synod.

The EJBO is a member of the Berlin Alliance against Homophy.

Youth thanksgiving

The youth thank offering is the official donation project of the EJBO. It has a long tradition and has been organized and carried out for several years together with the regional youth convention of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany . It is a donation project by young people to help young people in precarious situations. Every two years a new project is selected and donations are collected for this.

Child and Youth Policy

As a youth association, the association is a member of the Landesjugendring Berlin and the Landesjugendring Brandenburg . It is represented for the part of the Silesian Upper Lusatia in the State Youth Association of Saxony by the Evangelical Youth of Saxony. There the EJBO networks with other youth associations, organizes campaigns and represents the interests of children and young people in politics and society.

The EJBO is a member of the Federal Association of Protestant Youth, the Working Group of Protestant Youth in Germany (aej).

Major projects

Once a year, the EJBO organizes the state youth camp, at which around 600 young people from all parts of the state church come together on one weekend a year.

The EJBO is co-organizer of the educational forum “Internationaler Spielmarkt Potsdam”. The play market takes place once a year on the island of Hermannswerder and, as a specialist event on the medium of play, attracts around 3000 visitors, mainly educational professionals, every year.
