The Jeugd OntmoetingsCentrum Ysselsteyn (Youth Meeting Center Ysselsteyn) is an educative group accomodation and education centre for schools, exchange projects, foundations, etc. Topics include history, cemetery, peace education, social skills, politics and art. The YMC Ysselsteyn is part of the youth department of the German War Grave Service and lies next to the 17 hectare German war cemetery, in which 32.000 graves let you experience what evil war can do.

The aim of the YMC Ysselsteyn is to have youth meet the past and work together on peace projects. Participants learn that:
Peace doesn’t need to mean a war free environment;
Everybody needs to know himself before understanding others;
A norm or value can be different from each other;
Cultures can be normal for one and for the other very strange;
Education can be fun.
