Jugendakademie Walberberg - welcome!
Jugendakademie Walberberg is an independent centre for informal, extracurricular
learning in the archbishopric of Cologne. The Christian image of humanity
shapes our engagement for young people with less abilities, our understanding
of hospitality, and our concept of education.
The supporting organisation of Jugendakademie Walberberg is an
independent association. It consists of 60 individuals as well
as a Representatives of Catholic youth federations. The association employs
more than 25 staff
members.
In Jugendakademie seminars, approximately 20 free lance trainers participate as course leaders.
At the Jugendakademie, all youth and young adults interested in interaction and meeting are welcome.
Our educational work is a contribution to youth identity formation. This refers to social, political, religious, intercultural and gender aspects of human living together.
We are a place for education - as an organiser of our own educational seminars and as a guest house for groups: well accessible via public transport from Cologne and Bonn, yet, in the middle of nature's Kottenforst.
We are a hospitable house with a broad offer:
- Full board
- Single and shared rooms [in total 90 beds]
- Seminar rooms of various sizes
- Various free time offers
- Media can be lent
We are happy to meet your needs concerning a vegetarian diet, barbecue or course materials and offer you a friendly service and a frank atmosphere.
We also regularly organise advanced training for extracurricular youth
education consultants. We arrange training for instructors in the field
of the rope
course and wall climbing and organise advanced training in the
field of experiential education. Our symposia focus on the latest pedagogic,
religious and socio-political
themes. They are aimed at promoters of youth work, teachers and
interested parties.
