CEJH organisation

the structure of the CEJH

The CEJH

The foundation of the CEJH was 1965 in Thun, Switzerland.

Founding nations were France and Germany, but soon after, Austria and Switzerland joined the community. Today the CEJH consists of several member nations all over Europe.

In accordance with the statutes, the CEJH is an independent youth organisation, which cooperates with the AIPH (International Association of Horticultural Producers).

In 1953 the first meeting of young horticulturists was organized in Hamburg and seven years later the first 7-day CEJH congress took place. Since then a 7-day congress was held in one of the eleven member countries every year.
