== History ==
The institute is housed in a [[wikipedia:Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]] villa built in 1923 for the Jewish Jucht family. After its expropriation by the Nazis it passed to [[wikipedia:Hugo Junkers|Hugo Junkers]], whose family lived there until 1945. After the war the American military requisitioned the building for the [[wikipedia:United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration|UNRRA]]; in 1952 the Free State of Bavaria bought it and let it to [[wikipedia:UNESCO|UNESCO]] for an institute for youth questions. The Bavarian Youth Council has used the estate since 1965. The Institut für Jugendarbeit opened in 1967, initially training youth workers; with a new concept under its director Roland Feldmann it restarted in November 1972 as a centre for training and further education of staff in youth work, beginning with 11 seminars in 1973.<ref name="geschichte" />

== Theatre and cultural education ==
Among the institute's programme areas is "Kultur und Theater", with practical seminars in cultural education, theatre-education seminars such as acting training and method acting, and modular additional qualifications in theatre education (''Theaterpädagogik'') and cultural education.<ref name="kultur" />

== Venue ==
The institute's conference centre in the villa includes a conference hall, group rooms and a guest house with 42 beds.<ref name="geschichte" />
