Mission and Objectives

The Youth Press Germany unites the young journalist and media maker in Germany. Our members are between 14 and 27 years old, they are mostly students and young professionals or simply people that are interested in media and see the related work as a valuable experience for their future. Through means of projects, workshops, camps and congresses, the Youth Press communicates media competence, networking, education and the exchange of experience. Therefore the overall aims of the Youth Press Germany are quality assurance and sustainability in the field of youth media.
