The Integration Officer and her team aim to promote the equal participation of people in Karlsruhe and social peace in the city. Behind this is the conviction that all people who live here are Karlsruheers. They should be valued regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation and lifestyle. As the central integration office of the city of Karlsruhe, the Office for Integration works closely with a large number of independent institutions and migrant organisations, volunteers, schools, daycare centres and public authorities. The Office for Integration supports and advises the City Council and the Migration Advisory Board of the City of Karlsruhe as well as the municipal administration on all questions of integration policy.
