Global Citizens for Local Change: AGYO Alumni Workshop 2025 in Namibia
Are you interested in working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), so that future generations may continue living in security on an inhabitable planet? Has your participation in the Teams up! youth exchange project or Team works! internship given you fresh ideas on how to come closer to achieving the SDGs and are you eager to implement them? Would you like to learn new skills and apply them by developing a youth exchange project? Have you ever wondered what other young people's SDG commitments look like? Would you like to learn from them and share your experiences?
Then be part of the “Global Citizens for Local Change: AGYO Alumni Workshop 2025”, a 5-day interactive workshop which will take place in Namibia from 28 Sept. – 3 Oct. 2025.
In 2025, the African-German Youth Office (AGYO) continues its emphasis on SDG multiplication, while focussing on three core topics:
- Quality education (SDG 4)
- Health and well-being (SDG 3)
- Climate action and sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12 and 13)
This year, the AGYO offers former and current participants of both AGYO programme lines a follow-up to their participation in either a Teams up! youth exchange project or a Team works! internship. A group of up to 26 particularly interested and highly committed young people from both African countries and Germany can take part in the workshop. People that already took part in previous AGYO workshops cannot participate again.
You can apply if you
- participated in an AGYO Team works! internship or Teams up! youth exchange project (between an African country and Germany)
- are between 18 and 30 years old (in exceptional cases 35 years old)
- are a confident English speaker (so that you can actively participate, understand your peers and contribute your own input)
- have no other obligations during the workshop period and have time to prepare your contribution beforehand
- are interested in developing an African-German youth echange project in a group
- cannot wait to share your experiences and ideas – be it experimental new methods, a different perspective on current issues or any other ideas on how young people in African countries and in Germany can contribute to achieving the SDGs!
Please send your application by filling out the respective questionnaire until 8 June 2025 (11pm CEST). In order to help us assess your application in the best possible way, please make sure that you
- show us your motivation for participation,
- describe your previous experiences and your contribution/input to the workshop
- tell us how you are going to apply the gained knowledge in the future and how you will multiply your SDG skills in your social environment.
Please read the Call for Applications carefully before you apply.
We are looking forward to your application!
You will receive a reply once the selection process is completed, which will be at the latest at the mid of July.
