Guidance for Refugees Welcome to Germany! This guide aims to provide information about the country you now find yourself in. This guide is meant for visitors to Germany, refugees and future citizens. Its aim is to give orientation at the very beginning of their stay in Germany. With regard to refugees, this guide aims to provide useful information in times when they cannot yet participate in the integration courses and German classes offered by the government. As of September 2015, the BAMF (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge) does not provide any guide for this purpose.
The guide is available in different languages with illustrations where possible. It is available online with the option of printing it for distribution. A printed booklet may become available at a later date.
The concept and the content of this guide has been designed and compiled with the support of many people (people from e.g. Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Egypt, Palestine; people who recently immigrated to Germany; people who are currently refugees etc.). It was of utmost importance to involve refugees in designing this guide. When discussing this project with refugees, it was particularly debated if such a guide would be perceived as conveying an arrogant or pejorative attitude. The refugees explicitly alleviated this concern and to the contrary, they asked for information like this. http://www.refugeeguide.de/
Workeer Workeer is the first training and job exchange in Germany, which is specifically aimed for refugees. The platform aims to create a suitable environment in which this particular group of jobseekers encounters matching employer. The job market has emerged as a final project in the context of our BA Communication Design studies at the HTW Berlin in summer 2015. After graduating the project should be continued . www.Workers.de a internet base plattform David Jacob und Philipp Kühn
