Verein aha-Jugendinformation Liechtenstein

beschrijving van de organisatie

The "aha - Tipps & Infos für junge Leute" is the youth information centre based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. It's a national and international stakeholder in youth work and carried by the association "Verein aha-Jugendinformation Liechtenstein" which is a non-profit organisation. The aha provides information on youth relevant topics (e.g. education, employment, media, mobility projects, sustainability, politics, health, youth participation, etc.) for young people between 13 and 30 years as well as for parents, youth workers, teachers and other multipliers. One of the main goals is to empower young people and motivate them to get active in society through youth participation, youth projects or international exchanges. The work of the youth information centre is based on the UN declaration of human rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as the European Charta of Youth information (ERYICA) and the law for children and youth in Liechtenstein.

The aha is divided in three main areas: youth information, youth participation, youth projects. The main services are providing information to young people, connecting and informing multipliers, fostering youth participation, organizing workshops, train youth leaders and promoting the possibilities of EU youth programs and other funding opportunities.

We coordinate volunteering projects in Liechtenstein and act as supporting and hosting organisation for volunteers. In close cooperation with local, regional and international youth organisations the aha coordinates, supports, organizes and implements different projects and events with and for young people.
