German courses for refugees: Marga Schmidl helps in Purkersdorf!

Purkersdorf, Österreich - In Purkersdorf, the voluntary German courses for refugees who were launched by Marga Schmidl in 2022 reached an important milestone. The starting signal was just a few weeks after the brutal Russian attack on Ukraine in February. As early as March 2022, the first courses were held on the premises of the VHS Purkersdorf under the title "German as a foreign language". Since then, numerous volunteers have been committed as teachers to bring the German language closer to the new fellow citizens. 22 participants, mainly from Ukraine, benefit from this important offer of integration, which also includes some Iranian refugees. Meinzirk.at reports that the courses take place on three mornings a week and are very popular with the students and teachers.

The municipality of Purkersdorf has covered the costs for the use of the premises, which is considerable support. Marga Schmidl expressed her gratitude not only to the city administration, but especially to Beatrix Kaumkal, the head of the VHS. It emphasizes how important this support is in order to enable the refugees better integration into society. "We would like to thank the municipality very much that the costs for the use of the premises are covered and especially with the head of the VHS, Beatrix Kaumkal, who welcomes us in the VHS all years," said Schmidl, as also reported on Noen.at.

This initiative is crucial for the social integration of the refugees who not only learn the language, but also get to know local customs and ways of living. If you want to take part in the German courses or get involved, you can contact Marga Schmidl directly on 069911450519
