Christlicher Verein Junger Menschen (CVJM) Landesverband Hannover
The
The CVJM Landesverband Hannover e.V. is a dedicated service agency of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover, which, as an umbrella organization, connects and supports numerous local associations of the Christian Association of Young People (CVJM) in the Hanover region. The association focuses on promoting community, youth education and social responsibility, with Christian values such as charity, tolerance and respect at the heart of its mission.
The CVJM Landesverband offers a wide range of educational and leisure activities, especially for children, adolescents and young adults. A central concern is the personal and spiritual development of young people in community. Among other things, it organizes seminars, leisure activities, youth education centers (such as the "Haus Quellerdünen auf Spiekeroog") as well as continuous training courses for employees in the social and church sector.
A special focus is on remembrance work on the history of National Socialism, especially through the Anne Frank House. Here, young people are introduced to Anne Frank's life story and the importance of peace, reconciliation and Christian-Jewish dialogue through age-appropriate methods, seminars and project days. Commemorative ceremonies, church services and visits to historical sites (e.g. Bergen-Belsen) are also essential elements of this educational work. In this way, the CVJM promotes a conscious approach to the past and present and supports the development of a peaceful and responsible society.
With regard to sustainability and social commitment, the CVJM Landesverband's focus on education, community care and peace and reconciliation work implies a clear commitment to social sustainability. Although no explicit environmental initiatives are mentioned on the website, the promotion of community, sustainable learning and ethically responsible action is in line with the values of a sustainable and viable community.
Through its strong roots in the church and close cooperation with various actors of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and network partners such as the "Netzwerk Frieden und Erinnern", the CVJM Landesverband Hannover designs a comprehensive offer for value-oriented youth and community work that combines social responsibility with personal development.
In short: The CVJM Landesverband Hannover e.V. is a church youth organization that promotes Christian community, holistic youth education and socially responsible remembrance work in order to shape young people into committed, peace-building personalities and to set sustainable social impulses[1][2][3].
