The Willkommenszentrum Leipzig, in collaboration with the State Office for Schools and Education and the Amt für Schule, invites you to a special and free online event. On Tuesday, May 27, from 3 p.m., the multilingual event "Welcome to School" will focus on integration and support for parents whose children are starting school this year and whose native language is not German.
In the federal state of Saxony, children and young people under the age of 18 have both the right and obligation to attend school, regardless of their residence status. With this event, the city of Leipzig and its partners would like to warmly welcome the new pupils and provide parents with helpful information to ensure a successful start to the school year.
One of the speakers at the event is Dr. Christine Mäkert, the Coordinator for Migration and Integration at the Landesamt für Schule und Bildung in Leipzig. She will provide information about the school integration process that children with a non-German language of origin go through and show parents where they can obtain further information material on this topic.
