WHAT IS A VORMUND?

2014 outnumbered the previous years relating to the cipher of unaccompanied minor refugees about 45% (10,400). Committed adults, who take a volunteering custodianship for unaccompanied minor refugees, are opening the possibility for social participation, by accomodating them in their private homes. bi'bak developed and produced together with participants who already found a guardian a short film about the possibilities and advantages of the guardianship. The film addresses minor refugees who just arrived in Germany and potential guardians. It presents the idea and function of guardianship in an easy and fun way.
