“Bringing poverty to the fore”—film premiere and reading

How does it feel to be poor in a rich country like Germany? Five young women from Tübingen from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan have dealt with the topic of poverty in connection with a youth empowerment project.

Before the film screening, the author Christian Baron will read from his… Read More

Child benefit for refugees from Ukraine

Many mothers who have fled Ukraine with their children are entitled to child benefits. 250 euros are paid per child. Child benefit is a state financial aid for families.

Many Ukrainian refugees in Baden-Württemberg

Of the more than one million refugees from Ukraine, a large number have found accommodation in Baden-Württemberg. 131,000 Ukrainians are living in the southwest, which puts the state in third place behind North Rhine-Westphalia (219,000) and Bavaria (149,000). This is reported by Mediendienst Integration and is based on figures from the Central Register of Foreigners. However, these are estimates, as it is unclear how many refugees have already returned to Ukraine. Far fewer refugees were accepted in the eastern states than in the south and west. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is in last place with 21,673 people. Few people also found refuge… Read More

How to get rid of unwanted advertising

Anyone who is annoyed by advertising in their mailbox can change that with little effort. The sticker “Please no advertising and no free newspapers” ensures that no more advertising brochures, such as those distributed by supermarkets, end up in the mailbox. However, you will then also no longer receive any free advertising papers and the magazine of the municipal utility will also be missing in the future. If you want to continue receiving such magazines, simply write “Please no advertising”. You can buy stickers in magazine stores, for example, but you can also write them yourself on your computer or… Read More

Since then, it has been possible to take a driving test on an automatic car and still drive a manual car later (class B197). The prerequisite for this is training in a driving school of at least 10 hours (45 minutes each) and a 15-minute test drive. In doing so, the respective learner drivers must prove that they are capable of „safe, responsible and environmentally conscious driving“ of a car with a manual… Read More
