Why did "Ankommen in Dialog" come about?

It's easier to participate in city life when you understand how things work. We help Russian Germans and Russian-speaking residents of Berlin navigate social processes, discuss important topics, and find opportunities for civic engagement. No complex language, political jargon, or barriers. Just open dialogue, new connections, and clear tools for involvement.
