On January 21, 2026, Senator for Labour, Social Affairs, Equality, Integration, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination Cansel Kiziltepe (SPD) appointed the Migration, Care and Ageing Office (FaMiPA) to the Berlin Seniors’ Advisory Council (LSBB). The FaMiPA advisors, Simone Koschewa and Amrit Walia, accepted the appointment in person from the Senator at the LSBB plenary session at Sozialwerk Berlin e.V. This is an important step for the specialist unit in advancing the vision of equal political participation for senior citizens with a history of migration in Berlin.
