The Jugendfarm Bonn e.V. is a recognized, independent, and non-profit organization for child and youth welfare, which has been pursuing innovative approaches in child and youth work for more than 30 years. The association was founded in 1980 and has developed into a medium-sized youth welfare organization with over 300 employees[1][2].
The main mission of the Jugendfarm Bonn is to create child-friendly and self-determined living spaces for children and young people. It advocates for a strong lobby for young people in order to offer them healthy development conditions[5]. The organization's values include transparency, self-organization and initiative, and a positive error culture[5].
The Jugendfarm Bonn attaches great importance to the design of open spaces in harmony with nature. It promotes sustainable education and responsible environmental design in order to prepare young people for the challenges of the future[3][5]. The combination of experiential education and animal-assisted approaches creates a comprehensive learning environment that is tailored to the needs of children and young people.
The organization operates a comprehensive quality management system based on a control model that prioritizes the needs of a "learning organization". This model promotes efficient communication and decision-making processes to improve efficiency and avoid overloads[2].
