Who we are
The Augsburg team includes Merve Kanbur, Albert Özkaya and Isabella Helmi Hans.
ZAM e. V. was founded in 2020 as an umbrella organization of 12 migrant associations in Augsburg. We advocate for the common interests of the member associations. The primary goal is to professionalize the work of the associations, strengthen structures and make the diversity of the people living in Augsburg visible at city level.
What we offer
As ZAM e.V., we offer racism-critical and community-based counseling as part of the weact project for people in Bavaria who have experienced discrimination and, above all, racism.
We work on an outreach basis and also respond flexibly to time and place outside of office hours.
