The Federal Network for Citizenship Engagement ( BBE ) is a "tri-sectoral network" of organizations from the areas of civil society ( third sector ), the state (federal ministries, federal states and municipalities ) and business as well as some individuals.
The aim of the BBE is the sustainable promotion of an active civil society and the strengthening of civic engagement in all areas of society and politics. The network sees the promotion of volunteering as a socio-political task that is not limited to individual areas of engagement, but encompasses all areas of society and politics. Individual responsibility and participation of the citizens should be emphasized and strengthened; Voluntary work, self-help and voluntary work should be given a higher priority in the state and society.
Foundation and organization
The BBE was founded in 2002 by 28 members of the National Advisory Board of the "International Year of Volunteers " (IJF) proclaimed by the UN in 2001 and began its work in 2003. The first chairman of the speakers' council was Thomas Olk from 2003 to 2015.
Many millions of people are organized in the 269 member organizations of BBE.
