Teilhabe an der lokalen Demokratie
Silent University Ruhr
The Silent University aims to empower migrants to confidently stand up for their interests in Germany, to empower them and activate them politically. Therefore, these events focus primarily on highlighting opportunities for political engagement, describing rights and obligations in the Federal Republic of Germany's democracy, and introducing local political instruments and committees.
