After the start of the war in Ukraine, a number of people in Berlin helped and took refugee families in with them. But what’s next? This was discussed today at a day of action in the Red Town Hall. Prime Minister Franziska Giffey (SPD) had invited to the “opportunity market”. Helpers should be able to exchange ideas and get information at stands. “There is a need for an exchange on personal challenges,” the Senate Chancellery had announced in advance. “And again and again it’s about what happens after arrival, what prospects the refugees have in our society – how they find work, an apartment or a place at school for their children.”
