About this assembly
On 23.02.2023, the Treptow-Köpenick Advisory Council for Participation and Integration was constituted in Treptow Town Hall for the first time in the history of the district. In their introductory remarks, District Mayor Oliver Igel, borough assembly (BVV) Director Peter Groos and Christian Kerntopf, Chairman of the Committee on Participation and Integration, emphasized the expert role of the members and the opportunities for cooperation with the district office and BVV. The members then received their certificates of appointment. After the ceremonial handover, Irina Upravitelev spoke from many years of experience in providing migration advice and emphasized the importance of the Advisory Council as a mouthpiece for migrants and their descendants in Treptow-Köpenick.
The public meetings of the Advisory Council for 2023 will take place on the following dates: 23.02.2023, 30.03.2023, 31.05.2023, 22.06.2023, 07.09.2023, 11.10.2023 and 30.11.2023.

The formation of the Advisory Council dates back to the Act to Promote Participation in the Migration Society of the State of Berlin (Participation Act — PartMigg) (2021). It states in §19 (1): “In each district, a district advisory council for participation and integration is formed, which advises and supports the district office on all issues of participation, integration and equal participation of migrants and their descendants.”
27 applications were received in response to the call for the establishment of the Advisory Council. They live in Treptow-Köpenick, work in the district, do an apprenticeship, study or volunteer in Treptow-Köpenick. With 24 people, the overwhelming majority of them have their own history of migration or flight with references to over 17 countries.
