history

The association of Alevi students was outlined as part of a university group initiative of the association of Alevi youths in 2010 and implemented in November 2011 when the first Alevi university group was founded in Trier by Caglar Ekici. On May 11 and 12, 2013, representatives of the 17 university groups at the time met in Kassel to found an umbrella organization for Alevi student groups. On May 11th they drafted the statutes together and on May 12th the first board of the BDAS was elected, of which Caglar Ekici became chairman.

From 2009 to 2012 the Working Group of Evangelical Youth (AEJ) in Germany organized a coaching project with the Federation of Alevi Youth with the aim of further structural development of the self-organization of the BDAJ and later also of the BDAS. The project was funded by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and focused on the introduction of full-time structures, the qualification of multipliers and seminars. In 2010 a joint specialist event took place under the title “Young people on the 'right' path? Strategies of BDAJ and AEJ against right-wing extremism ”.
