We are a dynamic group of youth passionate about intercultural learning and fostering dialogue between Turkey and Germany. Believing in the power of peer-to-peer exchange, we continuously grow and learn from each other. By connecting young people from both countries, we aim to empower and inspire one another. Since 2018, we’ve been running diverse projects, creating spaces for dialogue, and organizing workshops and events that bring us closer together.

- Keno

When I was 16, I’ve spent a year at a Turkish High School and lived with a host family. After that amazing experience, I wanted to give back and enable others to have their own experience and therefore, together with other members, founded Jugendbotschafter e.V.

I am a Youth Ambassador because I think communication and friendship between Germany and Turkey are very important. I want to be part of changing something, implementing it and bringing people together through projects.
- **Ayda**

When founding JuBo e.V., our aim was to promote an open and unbiased dialogue between Germany and Turkey by bringing together a bunch of motivated young people and, thereby, building sustainable bridges between both countries. I am very happy that JuBo e.V. turned out to be just the right place for that!

I am overwhelmed by the solidarity and friendship we share in this association. We truly create safe spaces, so that everyone, no matter the gender, nationality or socio-economic-background can actively participate in creating a just and better world.
