Future of migration advice: Conference in Rostock sets the tone!
An important conference took place in Rostock today dedicated to the situation of immigrants in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Over 80 self-help organizations were represented to discuss the future of advice centers for migrants. This comes from a report by daily news out. This enabled the participation of a large number of experts and volunteers who are committed to the concerns of migrants.
A central topic of the conference was the future of the advice centers that were founded three years ago. These institutions offer valuable support for immigrants, but their funding is now running out. The migrants were trained as part of a nationwide pilot project to offer help to other immigrants. It is therefore essential that these advice centers continue to exist to meet ongoing needs.
A wide range of advisory services
The events also addressed everyday racism and the political handling of migration. In this context, it is important to know that migration advice in Germany is offered in different formats, such as AWO reported. This includes personal consultations, telephone consultations and even digital face-to-face conversations via video platforms. These formats help to adapt to the different needs of those seeking advice.
Further progress is made with the digital offering mbeon, which has been available since 2017. The DRK highlights that this platform enables free, confidential and data-protected online advice for adult immigrants. Those seeking advice can easily ask questions via their smartphones and receive support in a total of 40 languages from over 330 advisors.
Engagement of Rubén Cardénas Carbajal
An outstanding example of commitment to migrants is Rubén Cardénas Carbajal, who has been fighting for the rights and concerns of immigrants in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for 30 years. His many years of experience and tireless commitment testify to the importance that such initiatives have for migrants in the region. The conference in Rostock now offered a platform to discuss these challenges and find solutions.
At a time when challenges in the area of migration and integration are constantly growing, today's event shows that there is great interest in creating a supportive environment for immigrants. The participants strongly advocated that the existing support offers not only be maintained, but also expanded. This is an important signal at a time when society must stand together to see diversity as enrichment.
