Goals

IDSU Ulm is a project run by ILEU e.V., which has been helping Ukrainian refugees to settle in Ulm since 2022. The aim is to promote integration through encounters, communication and self-organised projects. Participants contribute their skills, set up their own groups and get involved on a voluntary basis. Qualifications, workshops and public relations work strengthen the refugees and promote a positive self-perception, self-confidence and the motivation to continue their social engagement.

What is needed

Project launch at a weekend for refugees under the motto ‘Helping people to help themselves’: brainstorming and ideas workshop for participation opportunities. Subsequent planning meetings, formation of subgroups and promotion of activities and public relations work.

Examples from the work of IDSU:
Creative groups, organisation of sales stands to collect donations for humanitarian projects in Ukraine. Organisation of events and fairs (dance café in the Roxy). Training and workshops for project-related events, creation of the website ‘This is us’, radio group ‘Voices of Ukraine’.
Users can set up or join initiatives via the local platform ViMA Ulm. WhatsApp group: A secure messaging group enables ongoing communication between participants.
The Ukrainians are encouraged to present their projects and activities to locals and other interested parties and thus initiate further activities.
