From 09:00 to 12:00, newly arrived individuals will receive personal advice, understandable information, and practical support on important everyday questions.
Advice that Reaches Everyday Life
The focus is on conversations in the mother tongue, orientation within the German assistance system, and accompaniment to authorities and institutions. The offering creates a trusting event atmosphere for all who want to find their way in a new environment, make connections, or plan the next step.
