USA

With our focus on the USA, IJAB highlights one of the top destinations for youth exchange. Our goal is to provide professionals with the insights they need to simplify their entry into transatlantic cooperation. Additionally, our DAP and TraX programs offer young people and experienced experts the opportunity to cross the Atlantic.

The USA Special, published in Spring 2022, was the first IJAB publication to focus specifically on German-American relations, showcasing existing partnerships, successful projects, and key themes in transatlantic exchange. The USA-Special features 13 contributions covering fields such as German-US cooperation, civic education, youth in the USA, town twinning, workcamps, and school exchanges. In addition to professionals, young people from both sides of the Atlantic share their experiences, clearly demonstrating that transatlantic exchange is a worthwhile endeavor for everyone involved.

In the publication Youth in the USA, interested parties will find not only information on the country, but also insights into the structures of child and youth welfare and youth policy in the USA, as well as information on the situation of children and young people in the country. The aim is to make it easier for professionals to enter into or continue transatlantic partnerships and projects in the youth field. We hope to give them a first orientation in a system that differs in many ways from the one in Germany.
