A Groß-Gerau initiative invites refugees and immigrants to a breakfast with German language practice
Learn German together over a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and strike up a conversation: The "Coffee and Hot Chocolate" at the Anne Frank Youth Center (Grüner Weg 5) continues to offer regular opportunities for intercultural exchange. Every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:45 to 10:45 a.m., around 15 to 20 participants with refugee or migration backgrounds meet for a free breakfast – open, accessible, and intergenerational.
Since 2022, the project, supported by the Office for Social Affairs, Integration, Youth and Seniors of the city of Groß-Gerau – initially in cooperation with the Psychosocial Center for Refugees of Southern Hesse – stands for language support and cultural dialogue on equal terms . "Our goal is to enable encounters without pressure to perform, but with a lot of heart," says project manager Christiane Eichhorn .
Language practice, childcare and support from the region
In addition to practical language practice, the project also offers parallel childcare for children up to six years old – with creative crafts and games so that parents can participate without stress. The project will be supported in the future by a regular donation of bread rolls from the Darmstädter bakery (25 rolls per event day). The company ESC in Groß-Gerau contributing to its implementation.
In 2023, the format was awarded the Come-Together Prize – a symbol of a vibrant community spirit that reflects the diversity of the city's society week after week. No registration is required – just come along and join in.
