The "Sustainable Youth Work" coordination centre of the Saarpfalz district works closely with the Bliesgau Biosphere Association. Their common goal is to get young people interested in ecological and sustainable topics and to strengthen their participation in the community and the entire district. In the first half of 2025, interested parties can expect a varied programme that offers both knowledge transfer and practical experience.

The "Young Biosphere" sees itself not only as a meeting place for young people who already have an interest in sustainability, but also as a space for creative ideas and their own projects. Anyone who wants to implement their own idea to promote environmental protection and sustainable action can get support with organisation and funding here.
"The events organised by the coordination office for 'Sustainable Youth Work in the Saarpfalz District' not only offer young people the opportunity to actively work for the environment, but also to realise their ideas and projects in a supportive environment. It is very important to us to promote the commitment of young people and to give them the tools to shape a sustainable future together," explains District Administrator Dr Theophil Gallo.
Further information on the events and the conditions of participation can be found on the website www.junge-biosphaere.de or on the social channels Instagram and Facebook under @jungebiosphaere.
