Integration aktuell: Integration Office now in the Europahaus

The integration office of the city of Bocholt with the integration officer Bruno Wansing and his employee Saskia Steilen is now located in the Europahaus. The move from the House of Integration at Theodor-Heuss-Ring 23 had become necessary because EWIBO wants to completely consolidate the housing area there. EWIBO's refugee assistance has also moved to the Europahaus.

"We have significantly larger offices in the Europahaus. The situation at Theodor-Heuss-Ring was too cramped and so we have now used the summer vacations to move from Theodor-Heuss-Ring to Europahaus," reports Bruno Wansing.

The signposting still needs to be adapted, "yes we are not as easy to find as on Theodor-Heuss-Ring, but that will work itself out," Wansing is sure. He himself is located on the second floor, in room 255, while his colleague is in room 254.

As soon as all the relocation work has been completed, including that of the employees in EWIBO's "Housing" department, the integration office will also be able to use the meeting rooms on the second floor. "Both the meetings with the board of the integration council and the meetings of the integration council's working groups want to take place here in the future," Wansing announces.

The contact details of the integration office will remain the same. By telephone, Wansing and Steilen can be reached at the numbers 02871 21765-612 and - 611. The central e-mail address of the integration office is integration(at)bocholt(dot)de.

Currently, preparations for the Intercultural Week in September are in full swing, and work is also in full swing on the International Cookbook, which is scheduled to be published in mid to late November. "For this, we are still looking for people with international family histories who have their roots in South Korea or Tunisia. Germany also had poaching agreements with these countries in the 1960s and 1970s," says Bruno Wansing.
