Participation mobile in Amberg: Actions for refugees and integration!
The Kolping Network's hands-on mobile for refugees recently stopped in Amberg, more precisely at the Ammersricht elementary and middle school. This initiative aims to raise awareness of the concerns of refugees and promote social acceptance. As the Central Bavarian reported, the event first took place in the youth center and then continued on the market square.
But what exactly can visitors expect from the hands-on mobile? An interactive information offering that, in addition to multimedia content, also includes personal reports. There were games, books and various workshops for young and old, which were aimed at students, volunteers and city administration employees. In addition, participants were able to take a stand against racism, for example by taking photos in front of a poster or by writing the word “peace” in their native language.
Committed minds and a strong program
The events were organized by the two youth social workers Stefanie Drescher and Carolin Schröter. This school week's motto was “Everyone is different – and that's a good thing!” and was actively supported by all classes in the school with projects for respect, openness and understanding.
As part of the Intercultural Week, the hands-on mobile was further supported by the Culture and Religion Working Group in the Alliance for Migration and Integration of the city of Amberg and the Amberg-Sulzbach district. The entire project is part of a nationwide project supported by the EU's Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, they said Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
Culture in togetherness
The integration of (new) immigrants is crucial for social cohesion in Germany. The new federal program “Social Cohesion – On Site. Networked. Connected.” specifically promotes projects for integration at various locations in order to improve cooperation. Initiatives such as the hands-on mobile promote joint activities that enable people to get to know each other better and accept different cultures.
In order to further strengthen commitment, funding of up to 70,000 euros per year and per project is available, which is important not only for structures but also for promoting civic engagement. Not only are the refugees happy about support, but also the host society, which benefits from intercultural encounters.
In addition to these measures, there are also special programs for particularly vulnerable groups, such as refugee children and women. Here is the Integration officer actively and supports various projects that aim to improve equal opportunities and combat racism.
Overall, the event in Amberg impressively shows how creative and interactive offerings can make an important contribution to greater understanding and respect within our society. Because especially in these times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to build bridges and talk to each other.
