Orientations that resonate: Hand in Hand at the Schalke Neighborhood Store
On June 24, 2026, the citizens' consultation Hand in Hand - Supporting New Arrivals will open its doors at the Schalke Neighborhood Store for anyone seeking orientation, advice, and low-threshold access to important structures. The format is aimed at individuals who are newly arriving in Gelsenkirchen and need support in daily life, with authorities, or in contact with institutions.
Advice with proximity, language, and structure
The focus is on advice in the mother tongue, support to authorities and institutions, as well as outreach communication. There will also be regular consultation hours and information on existing services in the support system, education system, and healthcare system. This blend makes the event experience so valuable: A space is created for questions, first steps, and concrete solutions.
Cooperations that build trust
The collaboration with partners such as the Gelsenkirchen Job Center and the Employment Agency is particularly impactful. This transforms the citizens' consultation into more than just an informational meeting: it creates a practical advisory experience with clear target audience addressing and reliable orientation. For new arrivals, this means: less uncertainty, more signposts in daily life.
The location: Schalke Neighborhood Store as a contact point in the community
The Schalke Neighborhood Store has been a new meeting place in the district since July 2024 and stands for a vibrant community interaction. In the spaces at Liboriusstraße 63a, neighborhoods, advice, and community work converge. The atmosphere is deliberately open and relatable, allowing visitors to engage in conversation easily.
An appointment without barriers
A special advantage: No registration is required, and the appointment is free of charge. This lowers the entry barrier and strengthens participation. Those who arrive early can experience the citizens' consultation in a quieter atmosphere and can address individual questions directly.
Conclusion: An important appointment for genuine orientation
Hand in Hand - Supporting New Arrivals brings advice, networking, and practical support to a central location in the neighborhood. Those who are newly arriving in Gelsenkirchen or seeking guidance through the bureaucratic jungle will find a helpful offer here with proximity and structure. This event experience is worthwhile for all who want to find orientation, not just seek it.
