Federal Association of Mobile Advice

The Federal Association of Mobile Advice (German: Bundesverband Mobile Beratung) is a German umbrella and specialist association that represents around 50 Mobile Advice Teams (Mobile Beratungsteams) nationwide. These teams counsel citizens, civil-society organisations, municipalities and public administration on how to deal with right-wing extremism, racism, antisemitism, antifeminism and conspiracy narratives. According to its own website, the association speaks for more than 200 counsellors working in roughly 50 teams across Germany, offering free and confidential advice; teams can also visit clients on site. The association describes itself as the umbrella body of these Mobile Advice Teams. Its work includes networking the teams, representing their interests to the public and to policymakers, organising further training and specialist conferences, and acting as a point of contact for politics and administration. It publishes practical guidance, handbooks and assessments, such as a paper on the consequences of the September elections for democratically engaged people, a handbook on the neutrality requirement in municipalities and administration, and a brochure with recommendations for dealing with the far-right AfD. The organisation is part of Germany's broader civil-society infrastructure for democracy promotion and prevention of extremism. Its counselling approach is characterised by being mobile, i.e. going to where the problems arise, and by combining advice with networking and advocacy. The association operates in Germany and is not a commercial company; it is a non-profit umbrella organisation. Its public communications are in German, and its website serves as a central hub for finding local Mobile Advice Teams and accessing publications.
