We provide individual support, which means that our concepts and measures are developed personally for each person and are constantly adapted to each one during the process.
Social change in recent years has led to a greater reduction in security and knowing how to fit in – especially among children and adolescents. And those are exactly the people we help.
We provide other associations and service providers with stimuli and highly specific input. The background to this service is that we want to give practical help to our colleagues in carrying out their work successfully and professionally.

Projects
We know that the difference between theory and practice is greater in practice than in theory. That’s why we’re proud to show you a small selection of our projects to date.
Nachtaktiv (= Nocturnals)
Martial arts & self-defense – an individualized social pedagogy project of IJS e.V.
With the Nocturnal acitve project, we offer young people aged 16 and over sports in the form of fitness and self-defense training in the evening hours, accompanied by a social pedagogue. The contact to other young people is built up and a basis of trust is created.
With a variety of circuit training, martial arts techniques, role-playing in dangerous situations and reflections, it promotes self-confidence, strengthens the ability to deal with conflicts and sensitises people to alertness. The side-effect: Of course, doing sport together ist also a priority.
The offer is addressed to all young people and is free of charge.
Every Monday 21 – 23 o’clock.

TAGAKTIV
Ein Integrationsprojekt
Seit November 2017 betreut der IJS e.V. Kinder und Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund in einer städtischen Unterkunft für geflüchtete Familien.
Wochentäglich (Montag – Freitag) wird mit diesen zum Teil traumatisierten jungen Menschen individualpädagogisch gearbeitet, musiziert, getanzt, gebastelt, gemalt und gespielt. Kurzausflüge in die Umgebung gehören ebenso zum Programm wie Hausaufgabenhilfe und bedarfsgerechte Unterstützungsangebote für die Teilnehmenden und deren Familien.
Das Projekt wird durch IJS e.V. und Kinderstern e.V. finanziert. Öffentliche Mittel werden nicht in Anspruch genommen.
Unser künstlerisch ausgebildetes Team wird durch eine sozialpädagogische Fachkraft begleitet.
