IJGD stands for International Youth Community Services. It is a non-profit organisation working in the field of international youth work and political education. Since 1949, IJGD has been active throughout Germany as an organisation independent from any religious or political party and recognised by the state authorities. The aim of IJGD is to forward young people's awareness of social conditions and to support the development of a feeling of social responsibility. The work of IJGD thus includes the promotion of international understanding and the reduction of prejudice between people of different nations, social backgrounds, religions and political ideas. We organise workcamps, international youth meetings, youth holiday periods in Germany, Europe and overseas as well as different trainings and seminars as further education.
In addition, IJGD is in charge of different long-term voluntary services such as the voluntary social service (FSJ), the voluntary ecological service (FÖJ) and the voluntary heritage service (FJD).
The Berlin part of IJGD, IJGD LV Berlin, has a specific focus on intercultural and inter-generation projects. In the field of the European Voluntary Service (EVS), IJGD Berlin is involved as a sending and hosting organisation. As part of our pilote project ‘voluntary services in socially deprived areas', ijgd Berlin has a growing number of EVS-placements in Berlin in socially deprived areas. This pilote project aims to further social inclusion, intercultural learning and to support small non-profit organisations and initiatives. As a sending organisation we send young German volunteers from Berlin and ist surroundings for longterm voluntary services to Europe in the frame work of EVS.
IJGD Berlin also organises midterm voluntary services in Africa, Asia and Latinamerika.

atavus advises schools and other educational establishments on how to create dye-plant gardens. These gardens serve to preserve the diversity of cultivated plants and promote interdisciplinary learning. Dye-plant gardens promote the production and use of colors according to Agenda 21. By focusing on topics such as cosmetics and various types of paints, both children and adults are encouraged to reflect on questions related to ecology, economics and social matters. In addition, opportunities to participate actively in this process are developed. Along with the dye-plant institute in Essen Altendorf, the international dye-plant garden in Gelsenkirchen, and the ones in South Africa, atavus offers numerous possibilities for networking. By including handicrafts we want to create economic cycles where children, as communicators of the "do-it-yourself" approach can find vocational training opportunities.
We get special support from the UNESCO city of Gelsenkirchen. With various activities, Gelsenkirchen is well on its way from being industrial town to becoming the ‘city of 1000 colours'. In the international exchange with South Korea (cultural exchange), Azerbaijan (paint extraction), Lithonia (Africa workshop), South Africa (cosmetics), Nicaragua (manufacturing) and numerous European partners (Ruhr 2010), we are currently running a set of interlinked projects.
Old knowledge, personal responsibility, and pleasure in learning will be taught in various events and places: Landesgartenschau Hemer 2010, European Film Awards 2009, Vilnius 2009, BNE conference 2009, Africa Conference North-Rhine Westphalia, Kaffeegarten Eine Weltnetz 2010, Mondialogo-Unesco, International Painters Camp 2010 and others.

*What is CHAT between WORLDS?*
CHAT between WORLDS combines global learning with digital media. The programme is designed to address the perspectives of various target groups living in Asia, Africa, Latin America, or Southeast Europe: School classes and individuals can exchange experiences with students in Germany through online communication. That way, CHAT between the WORLDS overcomes geographical distances and offers the opportunity for authentic and personal encounters. School classes of all school types with students from the age of 10 can take part.
*What does a virtual exchange look like?*
At CHAT between WORLDS, there are two forms of CHATs: peer-to-peer CHATs and expert CHATs. During peer-to-peer CHATs, children and young people get in touch with school classes in Germany. While during expert CHATs, professionals share their expertise with students in Germany online. Depending on time differences and local internet connections, the virtual exchange can take place via live stream or via video messages. Before each CHAT, participants are prepared for the CHAT topic using methods of Global Learning. Both the content of the exchange and the rules of conduct during the CHAT are drawn up in advance. Through question and answer sessions, the participants learn with and from each other. However, other forms of digital experiences are also possible: For example, a digital scavenger hunt, a jointly designed online pin board, or a cooking campaign across the globe. The common languages of the virtual exchange are French, English, Spanish or German.
After the CHAT, the participants reflect on the knowledge and impressions they gained during the CHAT. The students are encouraged to think about their own courses of action, plan their own projects and subsequently implement them independently.
*Who is organizing CHAT between WORLDS?*
CHAT between WORLDS is implemented by five civil organisations in seven federal states of Germany (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia). CHAT between WORLDs is coordinated by Engagement Global gGmbH with funds from the Ministry of economic Cooperation and Development.
