Overview
Deutsche Jugend aus Russland e.V. (DJR) is a German migrant youth self-organization founded in October 1999. It describes itself as an open, non-partisan and non-denominational youth association that represents the interests of young immigrants from the successor states of the Soviet Union, especially Russian Germans (Russlanddeutsche), late repatriates (Spätaussiedler), asylum seekers and quota refugees. Its federal office is located in Stuttgart, and its largest district associations are in Stuttgart, Berlin and Frankfurt, each with around 1,000 members. According to its own information, the association is active in nine federal states and 42 districts. The DJR works on vocational, educational and social integration of young people and their participation in social life, the promotion of international youth encounters and violence prevention. Its tasks include information, orientation, counselling, support, advocacy and communication with the majority society. It pursues these goals through a 'help for self-help' approach, empowering young people to develop their own offerings independently. Following the concept of empowerment, young people gain positive experiences that strengthen them without violence, drugs or crime. The association's offerings consist mainly of cultural events, group and leisure activities, information and integration seminars, sports and cultural projects, meeting evenings, and counselling and help with personal, school and professional questions and problems. The work is carried out almost exclusively on a voluntary basis and foresees cooperation with all providers of integration and youth work and the embedding of its own offerings in the municipal community. The DJR is a member of the Stadtjugendring Stuttgart and the Landesjugendring Baden-Württemberg, among others. It is one of the first migrant youth self-organizations in Germany. Its projects include 'Demokratie leben!', mentoring programmes, empowerment programmes, women's meetings, values discourses, anti-Gypsyism projects in Stuttgart, the magazine LIVpEace, 'Brücken bauen' (building bridges), cultural groups such as the Natalie dance group and the Grakovski theatre group, and the 'Spot On' programme with boxing, dancing, senior fitness, chess and youth protection. It also runs MBE, PSZ and Famulus programmes and organizes MPS events in Stuttgart, Augsburg, Ravensburg, Bodman and Würzburg. The federal board includes Roman Ramenski (1st chair), Philipp Grünwald (2nd chair), Olga Zhus, Agatha Kim, Sebastian Bach, Andriy Polishchuk and Maxim Stäbler. The DJR received an award on 22 August 2002. It maintains an active online presence through Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
History
Deutsche Jugend aus Russland e.V. (DJR) was founded in October 1999 as an interest representation for young immigrants from the successor states of the Soviet Union, particularly the Russian Germans who had migrated to Germany over several decades after the Second World War. It is one of the first migrant youth self-organizations in Germany. Due to the complicated social and cultural structures of the immigrant group, the DJR transformed into an open youth association that represents the needs and concerns of all migrants, regardless of their background. The federal office of the DJR is located in Stuttgart. The largest district associations are organized in Stuttgart, Berlin and Frankfurt, each with around 1,000 members. According to its own information, the association is active in 9 federal states and 42 districts. The DJR sees itself as an interest representation, aid organization and cultural association for all immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union, including Russian Germans, late repatriates, asylum seekers and quota refugees. Its main concern is the creation of favourable framework conditions for integration into German society on a social, political and cultural level. It pursues these goals through 'help for self-help', enabling young people to develop various offerings independently. Following the concept of empowerment, young people gain positive experiences that strengthen them without violence, drugs or crime. The offerings mostly consist of cultural events, group and leisure activities, information and integration seminars, sports and cultural projects, meeting evenings, or counselling and help with personal, school and professional questions and problems. The work is carried out almost exclusively on a voluntary basis and foresees cooperation with all providers of integration and youth work and the embedding of its own offerings in the municipal community. The DJR is a member of the Stadtjugendring Stuttgart and the Landesjugendring Baden-Württemberg, among others. It received an award on 22 August 2002. The federal board includes Roman Ramenski (1st chair), Philipp Grünwald (2nd chair), Olga Zhus, Agatha Kim, Sebastian Bach, Andriy Polishchuk and Maxim Stäbler.
