The
The Bundesfachverband unbegleitete minderjährige Flüchtlinge (BumF) e.V. is a central organization that is exclusively dedicated to the rights and well-being of refugee children, adolescents, and young adults in Germany. The main mission of the BumF is to promote improved care and integration of these young people and to represent their specific needs.
The board of the BumF consists of five voluntary members, including experts such as Dörthe Hinz, a social worker with many years of experience in the field of unaccompanied refugee children, and Paul Stieber, who works as a legal guardian for unaccompanied minor refugees. Lotta Schwedler, a migration scientist, contributes her expertise in anti-racist educational work[1].
The BumF regularly organizes events and training sessions, such as the annual autumn conference and basic training for working with (un)accompanied refugee children and adolescents. These events serve for further education and exchange among professionals[5].
Thus, the BumF is a central point of contact for anyone committed to the well-being and rights of refugee young people in Germany. Through its comprehensive services, projects, and networks, the association makes valuable contributions to the integration and support of this vulnerable group.
