Opis organizácie

JANUN e.V. was founded in 1989 by several youth environmental initiatives in Hannover.
While during the first years after the establishment , nature – and environmental protection stood in the centre of activities, other topics added over the years.
At the moment there are around 80 young people actively involved in the following working groups: Environmental education, Radio ( producing an own monthly radio program), Nature observation, Indigenous peoples, “KonsuMensch” – consumerism & Globalization, Belarus & Chernobyl, Siberia, Serbia, Kurdistan, Global Warming, Protection of Rainforest, Multicultural society & Migration, Utopia & Lifestyles.
Over the year there are around 20 weekend seminars and 10 – 12 international youth exchanges, mainly with partner organizations from Belarus, Russia, Kurdistan, Ukraine, Norway and Serbia, are taking place.
The volunteers are being supported in their projects by two pedagogues and two participants of the voluntary ecological service.
Further than that there are two big projects which are supervised by three other pedagogues.
These are the projects “Kleiner Jugendtreff Südstadt”, a small Youth Centre and a children and youth participation project. These two projects are done by JANUN for the city of Hannover.
