The FUAJ (Fédération Unie des Auberges de Jeunesse) is dedicated to fostering cultural exchange, friendship, and dialogue among youth across the globe. Through the management of hostels that provide safe accommodation, dining, and versatile event spaces, FUAJ creates environments where young people can meet, share experiences, and grow together in a spirit of openness and cooperation.

Our Mission

FUAJ’s mission is to empower youth by offering opportunities that encourage personal development, intercultural understanding, and active engagement in community life. We strive to provide welcoming spaces where young people can explore new cultures, form friendships across borders, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Through our network of hostels, we aim to support the physical, moral, and intellectual growth of young people while promoting values of tolerance, mutual respect, and solidarity.

Our Vision

We envision a world where young people are connected across cultures, fostering a generation that values diversity, understanding, and collaboration. FUAJ aspires to be a leading organization in youth development, where every hostel experience contributes to building a global community grounded in friendship, creativity, and cross-cultural learning.

Our Values

At FUAJ, our work is guided by core values that shape our programs and approach:

1. Cultural Exchange: We encourage young people to immerse themselves in different cultures, learn from diverse perspectives, and appreciate global diversity.

2. Friendship and Dialogue: Our spaces are designed to foster open communication, lasting friendships, and shared experiences among youth from all backgrounds.

3. Tolerance and Openness: We promote understanding, respect, and acceptance of differences, helping young people become responsible and empathetic global citizens.

4. Youth Development: Supporting the physical, moral, and intellectual growth of youth is central to our mission, ensuring they gain skills and experiences that empower their future.

5. Community and Engagement: We encourage young people to actively participate in their communities, both locally and internationally, fostering a sense of responsibility and belonging.

Our Approach

Through a network of well-managed hostels, FUAJ provides much more than accommodation. Our hostels serve as cultural hubs where young people can participate in workshops, social events, and educational programs. By combining leisure, learning, and cultural interaction, we ensure that every visitor experiences growth, connection, and inspiration.
