Federation of Dersim Communities in Europe – FDG

FDG

In 2006, several associations in Germany and in some other European countries got together and founded the Federation of Dersim Communities in Europe (FDG). Das Ziel dieser Föderation ist auch die kulturellen Aktivitäten dieser Vereine und die Integration der Dersimer in Europa zu fördern und die Solidaritätsarbeit mit Dersim zu koordinieren. Topics are the nature, the culture and the memories of Dersim people.

We are the umbrella organization of Dersim associations in Europe. We represent the Kırmanc / Zaza Alevis. Around 250,000 – 300,000 people live in Europe who feel they belong to this culture.

The tasks of our associations are for example.

  • Advice in social matters, dealing with authorities.
  • Qualification for better educational opportunities in immigrant family, seniors, women and youth.
  • Networking with other immigrants, organizations and association representatives
  • Every year in May, the FDG organizes a large event to commemorate the TERTELE 37/38 (genocide against the Dersim).
  • Maintaining the traditional festivals of the Dersim in Europe. Among others, the Gagan Festival, Xeylas Festival but also the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice.
  • Language teaching, Zaza – language teaching.
  • Dance, music and folklore groups and youth groups.

You can also find our goals and areas of activity in our articles of association.
