The overall aim of this project is to improve the integration of refugees in different European countries and to support volunteers who are working with refugees across Europe by setting up a volunteer language mentor programme for young refugees.

Due to international crises and wars, large numbers of refugees are seeking asylum in Europe. Three volunteer organisations from Germany, Bulgaria and Romania have decided to concentrate on one problem most of the refugees coming to their country must face: they are not able to understand and speak the language of their host country. The language barrier is a great challenge – not only to the refugees themselves but also to those who are trying to support them. Only if refugees are able to communicate in the language of their host country, they can express themselves directly without having to rely on translation services. This is where volunteers come into play: they can help refugees to learn and practise the local language. The overall aim of this project is to improve the integration of refugees in different European countries and to support volunteers who are working with refugees across Europe.

As our programme is easy to implement and requires small financial resources, we hope that other NGOs will be inspired and encouraged to realise similar projects. And of course, we hope that this programme leads to friendships between young locals and young refugees. This is the key to integration: to be able to speak the local language, to have someone to talk to, and to be connected within the local community.
