Many people from outside Ukraine have emigrated from their home countries for educational reasons to secure a better future. ย Before the Russian invasion, 70,000 foreign students were studying in Ukraine (UNESCO 2021). About 3,000 of them, mostly from the African continent, found refuge in Germany after the fighting started. Since their arrival, they have felt like second-class refugees on German soilย
(UNESCO 2021)ย . They do not enjoy the same treatment as other refugees who are immediately entitled to state support and a residence permit. ย They face integration difficulties related to housing, language, administrative procedures, finding a university, etc.
With the support of DSEE,ย
MeineWelt e.V.ย ย and PLACE e.V. offer support to the third-country refugee student community from Ukraine to facilitate their integration process in Germany. Through the programme "๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ญ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐: ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐", we offerย from September to December 2022,ย personal coaching, language training and empowerment workshops.
