The city of Tübingen is looking for candidates for the Integration Council—especially people with a history of immigration. It represents the interests of these people in Tübingen. Applicants must be at least 16 years old and have lived in Tübingen for at least six months. Applicants should be interested in local political issues. They should also have experience with migration and want to work for good integration policy in Tübingen.
The Integration Council meets around eight times a year. Anyone who would like to get involved should therefore have time to work in working groups of the Integration Council and as an advisory member of the municipal council and its committees. Applications can be submitted until Sunday, July 28. The online application form is available at www.tuebingen.de/integrationsrat
Brief interviews with the applicants are planned for November. The municipal council is expected to elect the members for a five-year term in January 2025. The first meeting of the new Integration Council is scheduled for March 2025. The members will advise the municipal council and the city administration on all integration policy issues. The Integration Council has various rights in the municipal council and its committees: for example, to make a speech and submit its own motions.
Up to 22 Tübingen residents belong to the Integration Council. At least half of them should have a migration background. There are also twelve expert residents, members of the municipal council and Mihriban Sahin, the municipal employee responsible for equality and integration.
