The German Youth Hostel Association (DJH) with more than 400 hostels is the largest provider of youth accommodation in Germany. There are about 10 million overnights in DJH hostels every year. DJH as a non-for-profit association has about 2.4 million members supporting the idea of bringing young people together and to help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling. DJH offers programs in its hostels, including international exchanges and encounters. Partner associations from all over the world are organized in the International Youth Hostel Federation (Hostelling International).
DJH offers various programs in more than 400 hostels in Germany, for school and university trips, for families, for young backpackers who want to discover the world and to meet other people. International programs, for example, are international encounters and internship programs. See, for example, the IOU Respect Program, in cooperation with Youth Hostel Associations from France, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and the USA: https://www.hiusa.org/iou-respect (Engl. description taken from the website of our partner HI-USA).

We want to join actively the events of the network, be partner in ALF working groups concerning the youth, we can promote the ideas and news of the ALF in our media. We want ot announce our programs within the network, offer ourselves as partner for new projects together with other partners/members of ALF.
We want to deepen our international cooperation with other organizations which aim on respect between people and cultures. We already have many bilateral partners in the Mediterranean area, but we want to be part of a strong multi-lateral network. The ideas of the ALF fit perfectly to the statutory goals of DJH.
