In the artist's words:

Networking meeting "Welcome culture in Cologne"

For eight years, the Forum for Welcoming Culture - a cooperation project between the Cologne Volunteer Agency and the Cologne Refugee Council - and the Melanchthon Academy have been inviting all those involved in refugee work to regular networking meetings. Here, committed people can exchange ideas, network and make a greater impact together.

All those involved in refugee work, whether from welcome initiatives, tandem projects, working alone or integrated into structures, as well as all those interested in getting involved are cordially invited!

The Forum for Welcome Culture supports Cologne's welcome initiatives and is a point of contact for volunteers and others involved in refugee work. It promotes networking among them, forms a bridge to the city administration and promotes exchange with it. The forum offers training and information opportunities for volunteers and interested parties and advises them. The forum also provides its own impetus to further develop the welcoming culture for refugees and thereby strengthen their participation in society. The Forum for Welcome Culture is a cooperation project between the Cologne Volunteer Agency and the Cologne Refugee Council.
