Café International
Intercultural, multilingual and exciting.
A place to share and get to know one another.
More and more people are fleeing the violence and persecution in their home countries, looking for a place of refuge. After a long and often dangerous journey, they finally reach Germany and hope to find a place of protection and a new home. But refugees in Germany often feel like they live on the edge of society. Most are not allowed to work, and when they are allowed, have trouble finding jobs. On a monthly basis they receive less money than welfare recipients, less then what Germany has declare is needed for a minimal existence.
These refugees need people they can trust, who can help them find their way in a new culture and in their new home. That is our goal with "Cafe International".
"Cafe International" provides a welcoming note in Germany. In particular, it facilitates the often traumatized refugees, as well as their families, who have arrived in a foreign country where
everything feels so new and different, to feel at home. “Cafe International" is a place where the refugees and the local residents can meet, get to know one another and to learn to trust each
other. They can play together, laugh together and share their lives with one another. Here they can learn about the cultures and languages of their new neighbors. We offer a comfortable
atmosphere with coffee, tea, cookies, cakes or other snacks.
"Cafe International" is contributing toward a successful integration of foreigners into our German society.
