Integration of People with Migrant Backgrounds through Further Education

This funding program targets institutions and organizations that offer German language courses for adults with migrant backgrounds in Rhineland-Palatinate. The goal is to support the linguistic and social integration of these individuals, especially those who do not have access to federal integration courses.

Funding is provided for German language courses for adults with migrant backgrounds, which aim at learning German as a second language and support social integration. This also includes course-accompanying childcare and socio-pedagogical support.

Funding is provided as project funding in the form of a grant, primarily as deficit financing. The amount of the grant depends on the number of teaching units conducted and other eligible costs such as examination fees. The program runs annually, and the project duration is limited to the calendar year.

Specific conditions apply to funding regarding course content, implementation, and participant numbers. The courses must be open to adults with migrant backgrounds who do not have access to federal integration courses and can be offered in various formats (classroom, online, hybrid). There are also regulations for cost accounting and course evaluation.

The application for funding must be submitted annually by January 30th to the Supervisory and Service Directorate (ADD). Special forms and a cost and financing plan must be used. The grant is approved within the framework of available budget funds at the discretion of the authority.

The funding program is based on specific funding criteria and relevant paragraphs of the State Budget Ordinance of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is legitimized by guidelines from the Ministry for Family, Women, Culture and Integration in Rhineland-Palatinate.
