Learning together is much more fun: These courses are perfect for you if you want to learn German together with other women or parents and have a special interest in the upbringing, education and training of your children!
Due to changes in the integration course regulations, we are unable to offer courses for beginners. Prior knowledge of German is required to participate in the women's and parents' integration courses.
The integration courses for women or parents consist of a language course and an orientation course. You can attend a women's or parents' integration course if you have at least one child under 18. We will discuss topics from your life, explore the values of our society with you, and give you important tips and advice for your everyday life.
We offer full-time and part-time courses. The courses take place in the mornings in various parts of the city. Childcare is provided for most women's courses and all parent integration courses.
