About us
We want
To bring immigrants and locals closer together. To do this, we exchange stories, customs, ways of life and creative ideas about life with each other, thus promoting understanding and helping to close cultural gaps.
We offer
In addition, there are events open to the public, such as exhibitions, workshops, and much more. Locals and migrants exchange ideas and talents, preferably interactively, so that a dialogue arises between both sides.
We mediate
Understanding, discussing, and broadening horizons between the cultures represented in our population are central to us. We pay particular attention to bringing people closer to differences and breaking down prejudices. Happy and informal encounters and open interaction are a matter of course for us.
We work
mostly unpaid and voluntary, and we welcome contributions. We are politically and religiously neutral. We are open to the diversity of cultures and languages. Equal treatment and empathy are our most important principles. Dialogue, community and joy are important to us.
