VISION
Developing the cultural diversity in our country into our unique strength: that is ours VISION at myBuddy. For this we need each of you! With the myBuddy program, you can make an uncomplicated, flexible and individual contribution to social integration.
The basic principle of myBuddy is simple: We want to encourage personal encounters between locals and immigrants. To do this, we will network you with a myBuddy in your neighborhood who suits you best. Then you can decide individually how you shape your friendship. With the flexible format, we want to enable participation for a wide range of people.
MyBuddy is not about professional advice or assistance, but about intercultural friendships at eye level. No special previous experience is therefore required to participate.

Common questions
We are of the opinion that we cannot postpone all projects to Corona, but should adapt our offers accordingly. The pandemic made the social integration of immigrants even more difficult. Therefore, more than ever, we need programs to promote real contacts.
Depending on the development of the corona pandemic, myBuddy couples can first get to know each other digitally.
No, there are basically no formal requirements. We want to promote integration through friendships and everyone is qualified for this. However, you must be of legal age to participate.
There are no guidelines from our side as to how much time you have to bring with you. We have also deliberately not set a minimum or maximum term. You can decide how your friendship will be structured individually. This enables a wide range of people to participate.
It is important, however, that you have a genuine interest in getting to know your myBuddy personally after the matching.
No, participation in myBuddy is completely free. On the contrary, you can even win free tickets for leisure activities in our raffle.
After the registration phase, we will assign you a suitable myBuddy based on your information, which suits you best in terms of age, place of residence and interests. We don't do ongoing matching, but a one-time matching based on all registrations at the end of a myBuddy registration phase.
