To become active on a topic
Would you like to get involved with Terre des Hommes on a specific issue that is particularly important to you?
In addition to local Terre des Hommes groups in cities across Germany, there are thematic groups that work nationwide. Volunteers and staff members collaborate in these groups on children's rights issues. In line with our strategic goals , they work together on specific topics and build up knowledge about children's rights.
The groups meet several times a year at central locations in Germany. Positions and demands are developed, and joint actions and campaign materials are planned and organized.
Our current topic groups
The group develops and elaborates contemporary development policy positions on alternative development.
This thematic group offers a forum for action and a networking platform for Terre des Hommes activists who are committed to helping refugee children nationwide.
The members of this group address the situation of child soldiers. They take a public stance on the recruitment of minors by the German Armed Forces and on German arms exports.
Children suffer from environmental pollution and its consequences. The group focuses on children's right to a healthy environment and participates in the further development of Terre des Hommes ' positions and campaigns.
Communication on social media channels is essential for raising awareness of children's rights in society and politics. Our Social Media working group, acting as a "Digital Support" group, assists our local Terre des Hommes groups and active members with their social media activities.
For young activists, we have our Terre des Jeunes group . It is a network for young people between 18 and 35 who want to actively campaign for the rights of children and young people.
Are you interested in becoming active in one of our topic groups and would like more information about them? Then please feel free to contact us.
