Integration in focus: The new film for refugees inspires Bad Kreuznach!
In Bad Kreuznach, the parish office has an impressive tradition: it has been committed to working with foreigners for over 30 years, an aspect that is now highlighted in the film “Active for Refugees”. This documentary deals intensively with the integration of refugees in the region and shows how important it is to make a contribution from both the German and refugee sides. Commitment and the welcoming culture are central themes that the Cineplex Münster takes up in its latest work.
The film addresses various aspects of integration, including language acquisition, education, access to work and adequate housing. Parents and young people who are new to Germany need these points to gain a foothold. Concrete examples and conversations illustrate how important the exchange between locals and newcomers is. In the spirit of an active welcoming culture, contacts should be promoted in order to create a lively community.
Integration becomes a community project
The challenges of integration should not be underestimated. At a time when the birth rate in Germany remains low, this could cause long-term problems for the labor market. The Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth confirms that measures to increase the acceptance of immigrants are of great importance. All too often there are prejudices about migration in the air that are difficult to dispel.
Another aspect that should not be forgotten is the high number of employable refugees. In fact, 70% of the refugees who came to Germany in 2015 were of working age. Successful integration can only be achieved through joint efforts. This means that both Germans and migrants must actively contribute to breaking down prejudices and reaching out to each other.
The role of volunteers and initiatives
This is also where the numerous voluntary initiatives come into play, which play an important role in supporting refugees. The Wikipedia page on the culture of welcome and recognition underlines how important an actual culture of recognition is. It is not enough to simply welcome refugees; Sustainable solutions must also be found to give them a real place in society.
Especially in times when public discussions about migrants and immigration are often characterized by skepticism, it is essential to shed light on the positive sides of coexistence. Although there are concerns that a large number of refugees could put a strain on the social system, practice shows that over time many of them become a valuable part of society, not only paying taxes but also contributing to cultural diversity.
In summary, the film “Active for Refugees” is an important reminder that integration is a shared project – one that requires commitment from both sides. Support for migrants must be continuously promoted in order to create a sustainable society.
