We are committed to transcultural exchange between young people and work together for a just world. That's why we want to give young people from our international network a voice with our podcast "Young Voices".
Our podcast can be heard every 3rd Friday on all popular podcast platforms. Join us and let's listen, learn and grow together. The podcast is in English.

PEP! - Further education abroad
Are you interested in international cooperation and would like to work abroad for a while? Are you looking for an opportunity to contribute and expand your skills?
This is what the Mission 21 trainee program, called the Professionals Exposure Program (PEP!), offers you. The program includes preparation, an assignment in a partner organization in Africa, Asia or Latin America, support during the assignment and return support. The assignments last a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months. While working on a project, you will deepen your specialist knowledge and build up intercultural and transcultural social skills.
The positions are applied for annually by our partners and are only advertised according to need.

Youth Ambassador Program
In the young@mission21 youth embassy program, young people from all over the world meet, learn more about other cultures and broaden their personal horizons in the process.
The programme offers young adults from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America the opportunity to get to know each other, explore pressing issues in a globalized world and work together to find solutions.
Get-together
The "get-together" promotes regular and informal exchanges between young adults from all over the world. The topics are as diverse as the profiles of the participants. As a rule, the focus is on a topic from the "Young Voices" podcast. The get-together thus offers space for exchange, discussion and questions about topics that are important to us young adults. Â
The get-togethers take place every second month (odd months) on last Saturday at 2 p.m. via Zoom will take place. The topic will be announced in advance. As the topics are usually based on the content of a podcast episode, we invite the podcast guest to the meetings to discuss the topic covered in the corresponding episode in more depth, ask questions, exchange ideas and learn from each other. Of course we also want to hear your voice!
Take part in our next get-together:
September 27, November 29
We are Sarah, Mandula, Barbara and Carole.
We work part-time for young@mission21.
