The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia wants to strengthen the work with fathers in the municipal integration centers (KI). The Cologne Municipal Integration Center therefore supports fathers' groups in Cologne. The aim is also to show how important fathers are as role models for their children. Experts from the field of intercultural work with fathers prepared and trained the leaders of these groups in the fall of 2025. From 2026, five different fathers' groups for immigrant fathers will be held regularly at various locations in Cologne. The locations and contact persons will be announced here at the end of 2025.
