Germany Stuttgart European Solidarity Corps Jugendwerk der AWO Württemberg (JW) is a nonprofit NGO located in Stuttgart, Germany with the focus on non-formal education, intercultural projects, youth camps and projects for children and young people. The main objective is to support young people in their process of personal development and education besides school and university to improve social, educational, (inter)cultural and other skills and competences.
