Integration projects; application for funding in the area of values education

The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration promotes the integration of immigrants with projects aimed at teaching values. It supports projects that strengthen basic democratic values and promote social cohesion.

Purpose

The purpose of the sponsorship is to bring immigrants closer to our values and culture and to make them understandable so that they can find their way better in everyday life and in our society. The teaching of values includes the fundamentals of our legal and value system such as understanding democracy, equal rights and tolerance, strengthening the acceptance of these fundamental values and rules and imparting knowledge about our culture. Intercultural and interreligious encounters and exchanges are intended to strengthen mutual understanding and social coexistence. At the same time, the aim of the funding is to make it easier for new immigrants to settle into society with practical help and to show them opportunities to participate in society.
