JUKUS GmbH

opis organizacji

JUKUS is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation/association specialised in supporting youth, culture and sports. Since more than 15 years, JUKUS has significantly been contributing to the establishment of intercultural and socio-cultural activities in the area of Graz and Styria.

It is our ambition to promote the idea that the living together of different cultural identities is not a contradiction. On the contrary, we want to emphasize the positive aspects of a diverse society. A further important intention of JUKUS is to raise public awareness for collectiveness and common interests.

Our activities focus on equal-treatment and non-discrimination as well as on the overcoming of cultural biases. Additionally, we are committed to create equal opportunities of societal participation by providing (oder establishing) educational programs with the aim to foster for our clients the possibilities on the labour market.
Our work is based on a diverse and intercultural approach. All our projects and activities are elaborated and implemented by a professional team. Another important part of our work is cooperating and networking with other social-, youth-, educational- and migrant organisations.

The four KEY ASPECTS of JUKUS are: Counselling the young people concerning educational- and employment affairs, public youth work and sport activities as well as cultural events and social engagement.
Each year JUKUS runs different cultural activities. The topics are always of high importance for the society, e.g., such as an exhibition focussing on the immigrant workers of "The Former Yugoslavia". Moreover, JUKUS runs a youth center called "ECHO". Main target group of this youth center are migrants.
