What problem does Patenmatch solve?
Finding your way in a new country is often a challenge. The new beginning is full of unanswered questions and can quickly become overwhelming. It is often helpful to have a contact person who can meet you on a personal level and guide you through the first steps. A tandem partnership can serve as an effective solution to help newcomers find their way around.
What is a tandem partnership?
Tandem programmes connect newcomers who have recently arrived in Germany with people who are familiar with the city and have been living in Germany for a long time. Tandem partnerships promote intercultural exchange and encourage new contacts. This helps people get off to a good start and increases their well-being.
