Hamburg Round Table with Practitioners Serving Immigrant Communities

October 11, 2007. Consul General Karen Johnson and PA Hamburg welcomed 14 German participants of the State Department-sponsored “integrationXchange” program of the Koerber Foundation and CDS International. The group will travel to New York at the end of the month to take part in on-site professional training and workshops, examining U.S. strategies and approaches designed to integrate immigrants in their communities and societies.
The round table with CG Johnson gave the participants a chance to discuss their upcoming visit and their work, which ranges from helping pre-school children, teaching German to mothers from conservative immigrant families, tutoring high school and university students with a migrant background and offering vocational training to working for a Turkish NGO in Hamburg. Their exchange program advances Mission Germany’s goal of reaching out to German Muslim and minority populations
