⭐️ Activity Title
Jugend.Stadt.Turm "JUST" - Open youth work in a church tower
🔷 Activity Details
Description
Since the 13th century, the tower of St. Jacob's Church has been part of the striking skyline of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald. Today, it is housing part of the open youth work of the three Protestant communities in the old town. It is a breeding ground for new ideas, a space for self-realization. Together with the young people who attend it, we want to not only fill the Jacob Tower with life, but also set out from here on exciting adventures in and around Greifswald. JUST is what you make of it! Our open youth work includes a weekly youth club as well as holiday trips and excursions, workshops and themed events as part of various local action weeks. In addition, the "FairSprechen" Project will take place during the volunteering. (a media project for digital civil courage and against online hate).
