First meeting for migration and integration in Bad Dürkheim!

On April 22, 2025, the first meeting of the new advisory board for migration and integration in Bad Dürkheim took place as part of a “round table”. This meeting was an important step in the cooperation between the city administration and the advisory board, which is made up of volunteers. The aim of this committee is to establish a trusting and constructive cooperation. The first deputy Claudius Güther emphasized the importance of common goals and the need for close coordination.

Regular Jour-Fix appointments were defined as an important element of cooperation between the city administration and the advisory board. The volunteers play a central role as a bridge builder between the administration and the new people. In order to ensure the support of these members, regular exchange options and information further gifts should take place. This was highlighted in a report on Bad Dürkheim

improved accessibility

An important point addressed during the meeting is to improve accessibility for citizens. The monthly consultation hour in the Kur pharmacy remains, but a meeting room in the multi -generation house will also be available for personal appointments by appointment. These innovations aim to promote the transparency of responsibilities between the city, the advisory board and other authorities.

Especially in the context of current social challenges, the role of the municipalities in integration and social cohesion is of great importance. The increase in immigration and refugee numbers has increased the need for effective integration measures on site. According to an investigation, which was presented by Integration officer , it is crucial that municipalities with existing integration policy concepts and networks can react.

challenges of integration

A study showed that rural municipalities have migration experience, but often not about the corresponding structures to manage these challenges professionally. The escape immigration, which took place between 2015 and 2016, worked as a catalyst for municipal integration policy. Today the need for German language support and decentralized residential accommodation is more important than ever.

The National Action Plan Integration and Subject For Shake "Integration on site" reaffirm the central importance of municipal administrative acts. In Bad Dürkheim it is assumed that the close cooperation between the administrations, welfare associations, religious communities and committed citizens not only enables more efficient integration processes, but also strengthens social cohesion.

Overall, the first round table as part of the advisory board for migration and integration in Bad Dürkheim offers a promising approach to actively shape the integration on site and to develop new ideas. The efforts aim to promote an inclusive society in which all people, regardless of their origin, can lead an equal and active life.
