EUth wonders e.V, despite the newly establishment, tries hardly to engage local youth centers and encourage the improvement of youth policies in the city and the region of NRW, working closely with local NGOs and Bundesstadt Bonn administrations and representatives.

Mission and Objectives
Main Projects / Activities
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can offer our international and interreligious contacts. We are part of networks on the national and regional level and could try to connect activities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The initiative to join the Network came from Heinrich Georg Rothe, in charge of Christian-Muslim relations in our church (Islambeauftragter). It is strongly supported by Ralf Häußler, director of the "Zentrum für entwicklungsbezogene Bildung". Both work in the same department. Because of the legal structure of the church the church as a whole joins the network. The "Kirchenleitung" (directory) took this decision on August 21,2012. That allowss other departments of our church to participate in the activities of the network. - Especially the "Islambeauftragte" is developping international relations with institutions in the Middle East (Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, relations to Oman are developping), but also in European Countries (e.g. Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey), in the field of Christian-Muslim Relations and Intercultural Relations. The same is true for the ZEB (Zentrum für entwicklungsbezogene Bildung). We are working in close cooperation with partners of other faith, cultural and ethnic background. As a church we are working in networks, as well as our Muslim partners in their own networks. We are working in fields of intercultural training, interrelitious dialogue, Human Rights, Gender Issues, and more.
