Binational
More and more people are living in binational families and relationships where cultures and languages are mixed. It is not something special for these families, it is their everyday life.
In Germany, binational are those:
- Men and women whose partner comes from another country and/or culture
- People living in a same sex relationship and are binational
- Germans and not Germans living in two or more cultures
- Children and young people who have two nationalities
… and many more who feel at home in one or more countries and have a multicultural family, relatives and friends.
Who we are
