Fam-Ki offers training courses, seminars, working groups and expert lectures on various child-related topics and issues that play a role in family court decisions.

Our goal is to enable and further develop family court proceedings at a high professional level.

For several years, we have participated in the working group on procedural representation and child custody law within the German Bar Association (DAV), Bremen section, through which we have organized numerous lectures. Furthermore, we advocate for children's rights as board members of Kinder haben Rechte Bremen e.V. (Children Have Rights Bremen).

Together, we want to bridge the gap between research and practice and advocate for child protection and children's rights. For children to truly be seen in legal proceedings, all parties involved must be well-trained. We want to contribute to this.
