Our international network

Like every association, ROOTS & ROUTES Cologne e. V. is also supported by its members – the general meeting is the highest body of the association. Without our members our work would not exist in this form. Members are friends* of the association, (former) participants and volunteers, partners* from youth work and other interested people who want to support our work. Every person can apply for.membership

ROOTS & ROUTES International Association (RRIA)

The ROOTS & ROUTES International Association is the umbrella organization for currently ten ROOTS & ROUTES organizations in eight countries. Most of these members – unlike us – do not have “ROOTS & ROUTES” in their name; but are still active in international exchange projects for young artists*.
As an association, RRIA also has a board of directors; Janna from the RRCGN team is currently one of the two RRIA vice presidents.
More info on RRIA and on the individual member organizations of the ROOTS & ROUTES network can be found on the network’s website: www.rootsnroutes.eu
