Kurdisches Netzwerk

Kurdish network

Since the 1960s, Germany has been the new home of around 1.2 million Kurds. This number makes Kurds one of the largest migrant groups in this country. Nevertheless, their identity, language and culture are barely visible in public life. Furthermore, little is known about their socio-political, socio-economic and socio-linguistic needs. To counteract this situation, we are founding the Network for the Social Participation of Kurds in Germany. The network is coordinated by Yekmal e.V.

Goals of the network

  • Recognition of the Kurdish identity in Germany
  • Identification of the needs of Kurdish society in Germany
  • Support for the equal participation of Kurds in society
  • Promotion and establishment of Kurdish in the education system
  • rofessional exchange on the cultivation of the Kurdish language and culture

Mission statement of the network

The network is committed to the maxim of being politically and denominationally independent. Furthermore, the network is based on democratic values. In this sense, members meet at eye level and strive to realize the network's goals together. All associations, institutions, initiatives and individuals who are committed to the network's mission statement and objectives can be part of the network and help shape it.
