Asylkreis Haltern am See
There is a broad offer of free activities for asylum seekers, which aims at making it easier to actually 'arrive' here and live in our city. Language courses and other activities make everyday life more interesting. Meeting opportunities between citizens of Haltern and asylum seekers are very important. There is a large demand for these kind of activities. Many people are also actively supporting individual asylum seekers and families in everyday situations.

Now we would like to introduce our groups and activities. The exact times and locations can be found in the "Activities" overview.
In the "About us" section you can find further information about the structure of Asylkreis as an organization and the coordination group.
At the Welcome Café asylum seekers and people from different countries as well as people who have been living in Haltern for a longer time can get to know each other while having coffee and cake. During the Café, newly arrived asylum seekers are provided with additional information. You can ask questions about the new city and about Asylkreis activities. Im Willkommenscafé können sich Asylbewerber, Menschen ausländischer Herkunft und Halterner bei Kaffee und Kuchen kennenlernen.
The Café of Cultures is an open meeting point for asylum seekers and everyone who has been living in Haltern for a while or even their entire live.
Every Monday from 3 to 6 pm we meet at Erich-Kästner-Schule, Drususstraße 2 to design and sew curtains, clothes etc. Please feel free to join us!
Asylum seekers live all over the city in different housing facilities. It is very helpful to have a contact person in each housing facility who can provide advice and actively help the asylum seekers.
There is a daily offer of alphabetization and German classes for beginners and advanced participants.
Volunteer teachers help students with their homework. The group is open to all students from grade 5 to Abitur.
