Who we are: Arbeit und Leben is an institution for political youth and adult education, supported by the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) and the Volkshochschulen. It was founded to strengthen democracy after the Second World War and to improve the position of employees in society and at work[1][2].

Our goal is to strengthen democracy through political education and to promote a just, supportive society. We are committed to social justice, equal opportunities and human rights[3].
Arbeit und Leben is present nationwide with state working groups and over 120 local institutions, reaching hundreds of thousands of people every year[1]. Our work is based on the principles of social justice, equal opportunities and solidarity to promote a democratic culture of participation[1][2].
