About the volunteering opportunity
the BlaBlaCafés organized by our integration service in Cologne-Sülz and Cologne-Mülheim are very popular. Refugees have the opportunity to improve their oral language skills in a relaxed café atmosphere. We do not have a teaching role - instead, we see it as our task to create a pleasant and familiar atmosphere for the refugees to talk.
Your Tasks
We are looking for you to exchange ideas with new immigrants. The aim is to break down language barriers and fears in dealing with the German language away from grammar rules and integration courses. Participation is open to everyone and of course free of charge.
