Immigrant self-help groups

Immigrant associations and self-help groups in the Mettmann district

A large number of associations have been founded and organised by immigrants in the Mettmann district over the last 30 years. These associations have various different aims. Some organisations are committed to sport with single-nation or multi-national teams. Other associations give more emphasis to tradition and culture. The social opportunities provided by some associations offer older immigrants especially a piece of home in their new surroundings. Other associations or organisations make intensive efforts to promote integration and social interaction. All such types of activities make a contribution and help to make life easier and encourage the integration of all parties.
