The International Youth Meeting Dachau (IYM) was founded in 1983 as Internationale Jugendbegegnung Dachau (IJB Dachau). Since then, every year young people from all over the world get together. They search for answers concerning questions of the past, the present and the future. As a participant you’ll be able to meet eyewitnesses or their descendants, visit historical places and engage in workshops about historic and current forms of nationalism, exclusion and discrimination of minorities. But partying, games and sightseeing will also be on your schedule.

See you next summer!
