Dear Citizens,
People from different backgrounds are, without a doubt, a real asset for our district in the globalized world in which we live. However, this cultural diversity presents us with some challenges.
On the one hand, you as migrants have certain rights but you also have obligations which you have to meet in order to integrate yourself into the German society. To find your way in a foreign country is often a question of dealing with your own identity and the standards and values according to which you have lived before. On the other hand, we as locals have to overcome many inhibitions such as the fear of the unknown and the change. This requires a lot of curiosity, tolerance and openness of both sides!
This website was developed within the framework of the project „At home in the district of Soest". It provides you with:
- useful information and contact addresses in clearly structured thematic areas for migrants as well as for specialists working in the field of integration,
- information on upcoming events in the district area,
- district-wide networking opportunities for all stakeholders.
Whether you are an immigrant or a specialist, use the platform, search for contacts, provide us with feedback and current information so that we are able to continue the promotion of the established good cooperation.
I hope that the district of Soest will become a common home for all of us, irrespective of our origin and nationality.
Eva Irrgang
District administrator of the district of Soest
