The Interfrisian Council is a geopolitical organization that represents the common interests of the Frisians. The organization consists of three regional councils or "sections": North Frisia, East Frisia and West Frisia. Every three years, the presidency of the Interfrisian Council is handed over to another section. The council was established in 1956.
Organization
Each of the three sections has its own board and administrative center. Section East currently holds the presidency of the Interfrisian Council until 2018.
