The Junge Union is the official Youth Sector Association of the CDU/CSU Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (Bavaria) organized in one federal, 18 regional and 480 district associations throughout Germany. The regional associations send their delegates to the Deutschlandtag, the annual national congress. Every two years it elects the federal board and the chairman. The JU maintains a permanent federal office in Berlin. With about 120.000 members, the Junge Union is the largest political youth organization in Europe. The JU fundamental principles are based on a Christian and humanistic conception of man. The JU conviction of the inviolability of human dignity and the respect for individual freedom combined with the responsibility for the individual to contribute to the community originate there. To the JU, these values are not hollow rhetoric, but shall be daily lived.

On 26th October five leading representatives of the JU will discuss political party youth movement development with leading representatives of the central and provincial Youth Committees of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

Focus of the dialogue will be information sharing between the two groups on:

1) Youth wing structures, organization and decision making on local and national levels, 2) recruitment strategies, 3) funding, 4) political and social activities of youth wings and 5) public relations activities.

The main objective of the workshop is to provide both youth organizations with insights on each other’s work, achievements and challenges and to jointly discuss potential solutions.
