We invite to our information and discussion event:
For the many people who come as refugees to Dresden it is hard to manage to provide good housing. For most of them it means they have to stay in mass accommodation or they have to share rooms with other different people. The procedure of getting a resident permit or the status of a recognized refugee takes several months. Usually then they will just find a place to stay at remote neighborhoods of the city. It is difficult to arrive in the new environment and to establish contacts. The association Elixir Dresden is working on a project to realize this on the urban area Königsbrücker Str. 117a/119. Therefore we invite for an exchange of ideas, thoughts, different minds and possibilities of intercultural living. Guests of projects from other cities will give their answers to the questions of intercultural living with a different cultural and social background. How can we create a space together with and for our society? Which problems occur in terms of the daily life? The Cosmopolis (Augsburg) Grand Hotel was once a not used house and now it´s a hotel where guests and refugees live together. In Munich a group of people created an integrative living and cultural project the Bellevue di Monaco. And last but not least also Elixir Dresden will present the project idea for Dresden and the current activities and picture how people can get involved right now, will answer all questions and set up new impulses.
Simultaneous translation in Arabic and English. If necessary we will provide whispered translations into other languages.
