Services for Child and Adolescent Development
In the heart of Germany, Augsburg offers a rich tapestry of opportunities for its young residents. From language and education programs to youth sports tournaments, cultural participation events, and integration support services, the city is brimming with activities that cater to a broad spectrum of interests.
Language and Education Programs
German courses and summer camps tailored for children and teenagers are aplenty in Augsburg. These programs offer intensive German language courses combined with maths, science, and English lessons, as well as workshops, weekday and weekend activities, course materials, and public transport tickets. They are designed for youth aged 14 to 17 and can be found at various locations around the city [1][2].
Youth Sports Tournaments
Augsburg hosts international youth football (soccer) tournaments such as the Germany Family & Fun Cup and the Bayern Cup – Mini World Cup. These tournaments offer competitive and recreational matches for various youth age groups (U9 to U17), as well as additional trips and a large opening ceremony [3].
Youth Migration Service (Jugendmigrationsdienst)
Young immigrants aged 12 to 27 in Augsburg can find support and information through this service, which helps them integrate and find support networks [4].
Cultural Participation Programs
Augsburg plays host to events such as the regional Pueri Cantores choir festivals, engaging youth in musical and cultural activities with rehearsals, performances, and festivals held at various locations around the city [5].
The city's commitment to its youth was further demonstrated by the "Spaces for Youth!" conference, which took place on October 19, 2021. The event brought together representatives of youth, associations, clubs, initiatives, and the city administration to discuss providing more spaces for young people in Augsburg [6]. A video recording of the conference is available for participants and interested parties [7].
For those planning vacations, the Ferieninfo Database, a service provided by the youth information Augsburg, lists vacation trips for children and young people in Germany and abroad. The database can be accessed at www.tip-ferieninfo.de [8]. It's important to note that this service is not provided by Champ, who organizes the vacation program for the city of Augsburg, offering services during all school holidays [9].
The Youth Ring Augsburg, the carrier of open youth work and youth information in Augsburg, is not involved in the production of LOGI-FOX, a colorful newspaper made by children for children since October 2001 [10]. LOGI-FOX is not related to the vacation program organized by Champ [11].
Lastly, the project "Change in" is part of the Alliance for Augsburg and involves volunteer action by students in the 8th and 9th grades [12].
Whether it's learning a new language, honing sports skills, exploring cultural activities, or finding support, Augsburg's youth scene offers a wealth of opportunities for its young residents.
