Nationwide, around 500 Youth migration services support youngsters from Ukraine with advice and support on all questions relating to their integration. The focus is on language development, school, training, and work.

Since 27 April 2022, young refugees from Ukraine have been able to take advantage of government-funded German language courses through the 'Garantiefonds Hochschule' (Guarantee Fund for Higher Education), provided they have a residence title under Section 24 of the Residence Act. The programme is now also open to young refugees from other countries who have this residence title.

Multigenerational houses can be found nearly everywhere in Germany. In total, there are about 530 of those places for encounters promoting neighborly coexistence. Everyone is welcome – people of all ages with different cultural and religious backgrounds. They spend time together, learn from and with each other, are there for each other and shape “their” multigenerational house with a great deal of voluntary commitment. Those who would never have met in everyday life meet here – for example during a language course, the repair café or homework tutoring.

Multigenerational houses are firmly anchored in their municipalities and always close to what is happening. This is how unique offers for the locals can be created. Here are a few examples of what you can experience in the multigenerational house:

• come over for a cup of coffee, have some conversations and get to know people of all ages. In the open meeting (Offener Treff), everyone is welcome.
• you would like to become involved and test your talents and abilities? Volunteering will put a smile on your face and on the faces of others.
• learn from and with each other – for instance how you can manage your career start or how to use a smartphone, tablet or other device in old age.
• breathe new life into old items and ensure sustainability – for example during swap meets or in the bicycle workshop.
• come to the multigenerational house for consultation and support – for instance in the form of advice on education and better computability of family, care and occupation.
• give your opinion on how neighborhood should look like – in the multigenerational houses, your voice is heard.
