This full-day event provided a space for participants to reflect on, discuss, and envision the future of international youth cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The forum opened with welcome statements from Gregor Beyer, Director for European Affairs at the Ministry of Finance and European Affairs of the State of Brandenburg, and Dirk Udo Fricke, Member of the Board of the West-Eastern Encounters Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The morning continued with an interactive dialogue session moderated by Lisa Wernz of MAGNET \u2013 Werkstatt f\u00fcr Verst\u00e4ndigung. This session invited participants to discuss various topics: Participants shared their expectations and hopes for the coming years, as well as the worries and concerns they face. The dialogue also explored what young people need from international youth work today. Questions regarding project goals, participation, practical obstacles and the real added value for young people were examined from various perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, the forum continued with three parallel workshop sessions focusing on practical methods and tools for youth cooperation. One workshop focused on building meaningful group dynamics and fostering trust among participants. Another presented effective approaches for fostering active civic participation before providing practical insights into media-based youth projects and the power of creative communication. The third workshop examined the growing importance of digital resources and tools in transforming the methods and reach of international youth work.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, the workshop results were presented to the plenary session, giving all participants the chance to connect the many ideas, inspirations and approaches developed throughout the forum.<\/p>\n<p>The conference ended with a party featuring DJ Sianna, giving participants the chance to dance, connect and enjoy a lively, informal atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioning partner of the Future in Exchange forum was the Ministry of Finance and European Affairs of the State of Brandenburg.<\/p>\n<p>We would also like to thank the Juve Foundation \u2013 Youth Connects (in formation), the Eurasia Partnership Foundation, the Yeghvard Youth Ecological NGO and Copernicus Berlin e.V. for their cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stiftung-woeb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/02-ENG_Programm-Zukunft-im-Austausch.pdf\">Click here for the programme.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;7812,7838,7816,7840,7836,7818,7832,7830,7834,7828,7826,7822,7814,7820,7824,7810,7842,7808,7806&#8243; posts_number=&#8221;19&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; show_title_and_caption=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Photos: Sandra Kuehnapfel (conference &amp; workshops), Alexandra Majorov (party)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 24 November 2025, young people from Germany, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the South Caucasus met in Berlin for the \u201cFuture in Exchange \u2013 Youth and Dialogue Forum\u201d to exchange ideas and develop shared perspectives for international youth work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p>Wir laden Sie herzlich zum dreit\u00e4gigen Begegnungsformat mit etwa 120 deutschen und zentralasiatischen Teilnehmenden ein, dem<\/p><p><strong>Partnerschaftsforum Deutschland-Zentralasien vom 25. bis 27.
