Youngstars ministry is based on seven core values: Christ-centered, relational, needs-based, holistic experiential, multiplication, community-relevant, society-relevant.

Disciplined behaviour is extremely important in a Jungschar. Only in this way is it possible to run programs in such a way that they are fun for (almost) everyone. And only this way it is possible to do activities with a little higher risk with the children. In these situations we have to be able to rely on them.

This article describes the developmental stages of children and adolescents.

A night cross-country game in the forest, abseiling, a trekking camp, an afternoon of raft building and rafting. These activities have been standard in Jungschar work for a long time. Is this now already an experiential education activity? What opportunities and possibilities can offer an experiential education activity? 

This article is a Forum booklet article. 

How do children and teenagers learn? What shapes learning? What consequences does this have for the learning process? This article aims to provide information on these and other questions.

Children need exercise to develop healthily. Physical activity not only promotes motor skills, but also has an impact on all areas of development. In youth work we canmake an important contribution to counteract the increasing lack of exercise in our society.

Why is there a need for something as old-fashioned and traditional as a uniform in the Jungschar?

This is a fair question. If you look into the question a bit, you will find many reasons to have a uniform in a Jungschar group. This article shows how a Jungschar uniform can become a can't-miss element in Jungschar.

This article corresponds to the BESJ annual focus 1993:

Worship of God:

Jungschar - Church

Wish:

Our youth group is well integrated into the community and our work is appreciated. We are happy in the community!

"You shall be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy." (Exodus 19:2)

"The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such as these to be his worshippers." (John 4:23)

The search for the perfect community

Young people's groups that work together with the regional church should definitely bear some special features in mind

- Effects of coordination and communication internally and externally

- Methods for improving coordination and communication in the municipality

As obvious as this statement seems, it is often disregarded in practice. The expectations of the church, the youth club and its leaders are often very high (something similar can also be said of the other branches of children's and youth work).

As "construction workers", youth leaders contribute a lot to the building of the "church".

Where and how do they help?

Nobody will deny that Ameisli, youth group and teen work costs something. But who should pay for it? The youth leaders? The church? Sponsors? Or simply donors?

You youth leaders do an outstanding job! I think it's great to see the passion and commitment with which you often fight Saturday after Saturday for children and teenagers in your age groups!

The aim of the BESJ services is to win young people for Jesus and the church and to consciously encourage them.

The questions in this working paper are intended to provide food for thought and help in discussions between church leadership and youth leaders in order to eliminate possible weak points in the relationship between the church and the youth group

• Hiking and sleeping on straw
• Excursion to the waterfall and discovery of a ruin

Being a leader in the Jungschar involves various important points:

An outdoor game for 20 - 500 people, takes about 2-5 hours  

Children also have basic emotional needs

Why do we tell?

It is important to us to awaken and develop the children's ability to experience.
