- News

In July 2017, Keike Faltings joined the FUEN as the new project manager of the ‘House of Minorities’ in Flensburg. In addition to that, Keike will also help to strengthen the network among the Non-Kinstate Working Group.

As a member of the Frisian minority in Germany, Keike Faltings was born on the North Frisian island of Föhr, an environment where the Frisian language and culture is still very present today.

During her German and Scandinavian Studies at the Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Keike focused on the languages Frisian, Low German and Danish. Furthermore, she  worked as a teacher at the Institute for Frisian Studies at the CAU in Kiel, where she taught the language courses in her native language Fering for several years.

In addition to her academic activities, Keike has been a touring musician since 2012. As the lead singer and fiddler of the award-winning North Frisian folk band ‘Kalüün’  she has been successfully promoting the language and culture of her island home throughout Germany and beyond.

The FUEN welcomes Keike Faltings and is looking forward to having her join the team.
