ArrivalAid launched the ArrivalNews newspaper to offer people learning German an information medium in simple language and to meet this need for social participation.
ArrivalAid is developing an educational medium to offer people with a migration and refugee history as well as full-time and volunteer workers from the sector training opportunities: The ArrivalAid Akademie . The training courses cover a variety of topics and cover, for example, everything from looking for a job to preparing for the Anhörung at the BAMF.
Due to a lack of knowledge of German, many refugees have problems understanding and communicating in their everyday lives. ArrivalAid addresses this problem with the “ TranslAid ” program, in which volunteer language agents are coordinated and managed from a single point of contact.
IntegrAid is a personnel development program for employees with and without a refugee background that was developed specifically for companies. The aim of the program is to achieve smooth cooperation and mutual acceptance between employees and refugees through training and mentoring.
Refugees who file lawsuits receive a negative decision after the Anhörung at the BAMF and need support. We guarantee this through our Klagebegleitung program.
After the Anhörung , refugees have further questions: How do I find an apartment or a kindergarten place for the little ones? A language course? A job? In integration support, volunteers help refugees to build their lives in Germany step by step.
ArrivalAid 's first 30 volunteers are being trained. The volunteers were provided with theoretical technical and legal knowledge for Anhörungsbegleitung . The first preparations of refugees for their Anhörung at the BAMF are taking place.
Anhörungsbegleitung is ArrivalAid 's first program. Since the Anhörung is a crucial first point in every refugee's asylum process, the program aims to use volunteers to prepare refugees for their Anhörung .
ArrivalAid is founded. Four friends want to volunteer for refugees in Germany and are developing a concept on how to specifically support refugees. The original idea of ArrivalAid is to train volunteers who can later accompany refugees at the Anhörung at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
