Christian Democratic Union Youth (JU)

The Christian Democratic Union Youth (JU) is the youth wing of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in Germany, established to engage and represent younger generations in politics. Founded in 1947, JU focuses on promoting conservative values such as individual freedom, social responsibility, and a strong economy while addressing issues relevant to youth, like education, employment, and climate change. It serves as a platform for young members to discuss and develop policies, build leadership skills, and influence the party’s direction, fostering greater political participation among young people within the framework of democratic governance.
