About the volunteering opportunity
The language cafés run 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.
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.
