Since 1983, the International Youth Meeting Dachau is a place for young people from all over the world to discuss issues concerning the past, the present and the future. They will take a look at the history of the former Dachau concentration camp, National Socialism and present forms of exclusion, racism and discrimination. The principles of exchanging ideas, experiencing different cultural backgrounds, as well as Holocaust education are the core ideas of the International Youth Meeting. It is primarily organized by a team of international volunteers. Survivors of the National Socialist regime and their descendants will talk about the experiences and personal consequences of persecution.

Remember – connect – understand - shape the future is our guiding slogan. We will learn about the history of the concentration camp Dachau and other aspects of National Socialism in Germany. We will always ask: What did we learn? How do we remember today? Where do we still find racism, antisemitism, and discrimination? The program consists of different workshops, talks of eyewitnesses or their descendants, guided tours through the Memorial Site, tours in Dachau and Munich and day trips. There is also time for personal conversation, sports, and parties.
