Want to become a Welcome Buddy?
Welcome Buddies were created in February 2015 and provide newcomers and their families with support on a practical and emotional level: Welcome Buddies accompany them to any official authority appointments, inspect letters and documents, practise the German language, help with finding a job and the application process and are present during the first stages of settling into life in Stuttgart. The content, duration and location of the support provided are decided by the newcomers and their Welcome Buddies together.
The advisors at the Stuttgart Welcome Center identify the requirements of the newcomers based on individual support. The Welcome Buddies are acquired from the City of Stuttgart Integration Policy Department and then prepared and supported in their tasks with seminars and reflection meetings.
If you are interested, you are welcome to get involved. Anyone willing to support newcomers during the first stages of settling into life in Stuttgart and the surrounding area is suitable.
