Contribution of the ZfI to the 45th Annual Conference of the Fachverband für Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache e.V.
From 05 - 07 April 2018, the Fachverband für Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache e.V. (FaDaF) held its 45th annual conference "Deutsch weltweit - der FaDaF zu Gast im Mannheimer Schloss" at the University of Mannheim. With reference to the 2nd Symposium on Deutsch für Geflüchtete von Anfang an (TU Dresden, September 2017), Ann-Kathrin Kobelt and Rico Ehren, as the organising team of this ZfI event, contributed the following paper to the Praxisforum B Beruf und Qualifizierung:
Deutsch für Geflüchtete und Migrant*innen von Anfang an und in (Aus)Bildung und Arbeit – Über Werkstätten heterogener Perspektiven und ihre Potenziale (Abstract).
In addition to input from the speaker, the event format offered space for discussion and exchange with the plenary. Among other things, attention was drawn to the situation in other federal states and similarities and differences were explored. The Handlungsempfehlungen für Deutsch, (Aus)Bildung und Arbeit für Migrant*innen in Dresden (ZfI 2018, publication to follow) were also appreciated and reflected upon by the participants. There was also great interest in (voluntary) engagement in the city of Dresden, which is only partially portrayed as the "other face of the city" in the public media throughout Germany.
