Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V. (JKPeV) was founded in 2004 in Dresden and is dedicated to Education, Culture and Art. We are a team of project, culture and event managers, sociologists, youth workers, researchers, artists, designers and cinematographers who wish to make Dresden and other cities in Europe better places to live, grow, create and peacefully co-exist in. Our main goal is to conceive and implement projects that have a social impact, promote diversity and inclusion, and that foster active participation and civic engagement. To achieve our goal we carry out educational, creative, and cultural activities on-site and abroad, which foster cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary cooperation. Through these educational activities and trainings, we aim to develop soft and professional skills from young people (18+) and adults, to stimulate entrepreneurial initiative and boost their creativity by means of non-formal learning methods. The fields that we focus on include self-development, youth work, social inclusion and integration, active citizenship, entrepreneurship & social innovation, civic and adult education, urban development, and youth work. In most of the educational activities and projects that we implement we use art as a medium for active participation and cultural exchange.
