DJHT, known in German as Deutscher Kinder- und Jugendhilfetag (German Child and Youth Welfare Congress), is Europe’s largest summit on child and youth welfare.
Organized by the Child and Youth Welfare Association (AGJ), DJHT takes place every three to four years.
This significant event brings together 30,000 youth workers, youth policymakers, youth researchers, and representatives from related fields across Germany and Europe.
DJHT serves as a platform for sharing ideas and experiences, learning, developing, and discovering new perspectives. It comprises two main components: a conference and an exhibition space.
Europe@DJHT is the European segment of DJHT, designed to engage a wider and more international audience, fostering an international dialogue on current issues. This program is organized in collaboration with AGJ and JUGEND für Europa.
