Project for Language Support for Children

The proj­ect "Spra­che ver­bin­det", or­ga­nized by Dort­mund's Rotary Clubs, enables individual lan­guage support in German for primary school children in need of support. Through playful learning, the German lan­guage is taught and a foundation is laid for success at school and at work. This requires so-called "scouts", pupils and students who introduce the participating children to the German lan­guage. Scouts visit the children in their families for one to two hours per week and respond to their individual needs.

Scouts are currently being sought - e.g. for children who have fled from Ukra­i­ne! Students who get involved in this proj­ect receive remuneration and a certificate for their work, as well as insights into other languages and cultures, and can gain valuable experience themselves. As mem­bers of the TU Dort­mund they can make their own contribution to successful integration. You can find out more details about the proj­ect in this short presentation (in German). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity Sustainability Office.

Supporting refugees from Ukraine with labor market integration

The project work4you, an initiative of Joblinge e.V., provides contact via a matching platform between refugees from Ukraine and volunteer mentors, who support the refugees in vocational orientation and labor market integration. Experience in this field is not a prerequisite. A training course is offered, as well as further training and exchange opportunities free of charge for mentors. A team of professional advisors is available to answer any questions. Further relevant information can be found on the project website.
