On April 17, Interface Vienna Managing Director Lejla Sirbubalo and Janine Fischer from the Startklar association presented the City of Vienna's 5-point plan for the German offensive for children and young people.
“Interface Wien is responding by expanding our already proven learning offers Wiener Sommerdeutschkurse and Lernhilfe to the needs and challenges of our city and our youngest Viennese citizens. With these tailor-made offers, which promote rapid language and literacy acquisition, we help to enable children and young people to make a quick transition to regular schooling and to remove language barriers. The focus is not only on language acquisition, but also on the sustainable promotion of equal opportunities in the education system," says our managing director Lejla Sirbubalo.
