Youth
The Youth Department is part of Non-Formal Education that operates within the Jewish Community of Madrid and is a fundamental resource not only for growth, but also for the social, emotional and intellectual development of our young people.
We respond to the needs of young people and their families
Maccabi ve Yajad activities:
Young people from 3 to 17 years old
Planning and management of recreational-educational activities for children, pre-adolescents and adolescents, designed and organized to be flexible and capable of adapting over time to different needs. The realization of these projects aims to
transmit the Jewish culture and identity and at the same time stimulate the integration and development of new relationships. Children and young people are the true protagonists of the proposed activities, always in constant evolution, susceptible to change both by the creators of the initiatives and by the users themselves.
Training - Madrijim Course
The Madrijim School in Madrid is a program organized jointly by the CJM Youth Department and Maccabi Spain, which offers an extensive two-year training program for adolescents from 14 years of age, young people committed to work in youth movements. The program is structured around three areas: pedagogical area, Jewish area and physical education area. The methodology is theoretical-practical and includes weekly classes, excursions and seminars, trying to stimulate curiosity and favoring the exchange of ideas among peers. The teachers who teach the classes are professionals in their respective subjects. Once the course is finished, the participants join as madrijim in the different Jewish organizations of the community, fulfilling a vital task for their development. In this way we lay the foundations for the formation of competent educators, who will guarantee the community the growth of future activists and the transmission of a Jewish identity and education.
18+
18PLUS is the group created by the Jewish Community of Madrid to organize added and cultural activities in the age group between 18 and 35.
Parties, cultural and leisure trips, sports tournaments, Shabbat dinners, are just some of the activities we offer you. If you want to propose a project or help us complete our events, write to youth@cjmadrid.org and we will contact you as soon as possible. Also write to us if you want to participate in our meetings and the information has not yet reached you.
Our objective is to support the activities promoted for young Jews from Madrid over 18 years of age, but also to involve foreign Jewish students who pass through Madrid and want to know the reality of our children in the same activities. Parties, dinners, shows but also sports and lots of laughs. These are the strengths of a youth group that works for the Jewish youth in our community.
