Interkulturelle Bildung Hamburg e.V. (IBH e.V.) is a non-profit association founded in 1993 with several locations in Hamburg, specializing in the promotion of school, scientific and intercultural education for German and foreign young people and adults[1][4]. The comprehensive range of courses primarily includes integrative language courses, vocational training and further education, as well as study preparation qualifications, which are tailored to the different levels of knowledge of the participants and thus open up diverse educational and development opportunities for them[1][5].
The main mission of IBH is to strengthen the individual and social agency of the participants, to promote their participation in social life and to enable or optimize their successful integration into the training and labor market. To this end, the association attaches great importance to intercultural competence, which supports understanding and respectful interaction between people of different origins[1]. IBH works closely with cost bearers such as BAMF, the Agentur für Arbeit and Jobcentern, as well as regional companies and other institutions, in order to design tailor-made and practical educational offers[1].
Sustainability at IBH is reflected in the promotion of social integration, equal access to education and long-term social participation. Through its consistent work in the field of intercultural education and integration, the association contributes to social openness and diversity and provides impetus for sustainable change processes at an individual and social level. In addition, IBH realizes projects on behalf of state, federal and EU administrations, which promote not only education but also social and labor market integration[1].
With motivated teachers, a pleasant learning atmosphere and offers such as intensive and integration courses from German A1 to B1, IBH specifically supports its participants in their linguistic and professional integration, so that they have more opportunities in everyday life, work and life[2][3].
In summary, Interkulturelle Bildung Hamburg e.V. stands as a committed non-profit actor for a holistic promotion of education, intercultural understanding and integration, which systematically accompanies people of different origins on their educational and professional path and thus contributes to a more inclusive and sustainable society.
