The Federation of Turkish Parents' Associations in Germany (FÖTED) was founded as an association of Turkish parents' associations. Since its founding, FÖTED has seen itself as a voice for parents of Turkish origin and, with more than 120 member associations, is committed to improving the opportunities for children of Turkish origin in the areas of education, training, and vocational training nationwide.

FÖTED co-initiated the establishment of the Federal Parents' Network of Migrant Organizations for Education & Participation (bbt) to create a nationwide network of migrant parents' associations and initiatives. The goal is to systematically pool their expertise and potential as important players in promoting education and integration and to create synergies. FÖTED supports parents and multipliers in educational and child-rearing issues through various projects.
 

Der Verein Kamerunischer Ingenieure und Informatiker e.V. (VKII)

The Association of Cameroonian Engineers and Computer Scientists, or VKII e.V. for short, was founded due to the increasing number of students in computer science and engineering, in order to advance the Cameroonian and African diaspora in the fields of computer science and engineering.

With its approximately 700 members, the association promotes development cooperation, vocational and adult education, and student support. One of its main goals is to identify and solve the problems of the Cameroonian and African community, both internally and externally, using the expertise of its student and professional members. The members support African students studying engineering with their own experiences and accompany them from their very first day in Germany. The program is complemented by a mentoring program and the VKII Best Student Award.
