The Educational Association for Student Representation and Student Participation e.V. (SV-Bildungswerk e.V.) is a non-profit organization that has been committed to a democratic school and the strengthening of youth participation in Germany since its founding in 2005.
The mission of the SV-Bildungswerk is to promote a society in which every young person can act autonomously. The association advocates for the rights of children and young people, climate justice, as well as the strengthening and education of democracy. A central aspect is the peer-to-peer principle, where all projects are implemented by young people themselves and directed at young people[1][2][3].
The SV-Bildungswerk works closely with various partners, including the Service Point Youth Participation, Youth Bank Germany, the German Society for Democracy Education, and the European umbrella organization OBESSU. These collaborations enable the association to build a comprehensive network for youth participation[1][3][4].
The vision of the SV-Bildungswerk is a world in which every individual contributes to democracy, promotes climate justice, and young people can change society. The association has joined the Initiative Transparent Civil Society and places great importance on transparent working methods[2][3].
The SV-Bildungswerk is a key player in promoting youth participation and democracy in Germany, making a significant contribution to shaping a fairer and more sustainable future through its innovative projects and close network.
