We are a non-profit association recognised under German association law and registered as an organisation of migrants committed to development policy work in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region since 2015.

Our members are mainly Hispanic migrants who want to contribute to German society. We work in the field of development policy and contribute from the perspective of our professions and from that of our cultural origins. Among our members there are biologists, lawyers, economists, psychologists, counsellors among other professions.

We work within development policy in areas such as sustainability, development, integration and intercultural openness. Within these pillars, we develop various projects that are intended to lead to a more attentive attitude towards world problems. Depending on the project, we are supported by ministries, municipalities or private organisations.

Through global learning, scholastic education becomes part of the international world. The process of global learning will help students understand the concept of the One World, and it will allow them to identify the interrelations between various global issues. While inspiring them to address questions that have remained unsolved, it will also encourage young people to take active part in shaping the world of tomorrow.

It was with this in mind that the German state of Baden-Württemberg created the Foundation for Development Cooperation in 1991. The SEZ's main focus lies on education and public relations with regards to the relationship between the northern and the southern hemispheres. We see ourselves as an advisory center for individuals and groups that have taken an interest in the so-called "Third World". Our main objective is to support exchange and networking between individuals and groups involved in development policy, and to assist private, communal and regional initiatives working in the context of the Third World.

In the educational sector, the foundation acts as an information center for global learning in Baden-Württemberg. We are able to provide schools with a variety of information, ideas, advice, and teaching materials concerning the "One World". The resources we offer include various publications and workshop materials.

While offering advice, we also help schools design workshops and establish contacts with guest speakers and artists. We offer assistance in all aspects and stages of projects such as exchange programs or the twinning of schools. In addition, we advise those who are interested in gaining work experience abroad, for example as an intern. We see ourselves as a forum for exchange and continuing education, and we cooperate with higher state departments of education in order to hold seminars and workshops on a regular basis.

Network Migration in Europe is an organisation which works in the field of education and culture, democracy and human rights education, migration and gobal developement and European integration.

The Society for solidarity development cooperation was founded in 1990. She realizes projects in southern countries as well as in the development education in Germany. The third field of activity is the Fair Trade. All the activities are connected.
