Sponsorship for German courses

for refugees from Ukraine
Dear friends, cooperation partners and supporters,

We are die deutSCHule in Berlin-Neukölln. We are a private educational institute. Since our founding 10 years ago we have been teaching German to up to 750 international students daily, with the goal of preparing them to study at German universities.  

Many of our students, teachers, and workers are from Ukraine. On the 24th of February, our certainty and basictrust in our common ideals of peace, freedom, and self-determination were shaken.
 

In order to set a good example in these oppressive and overwhelming times, we decided to offer German courses at no cost for Ukrainian refugees, because what else can we do?

The need for and response to these courses was overwhelming. However, due to the costs involved, We haveunfortunately only been able to manage fund a part of the requests. 

In order to expand the reach of our undertaking, we would be so thankful if we could count on your support in theform of sponsorship. More accurately we are asking for a cost absorption for individuals to take part in ourcourse, or for their learning materials. Unfortunately, we will not be able to sponsor this action entirely on ourown for particularly long, given the difficult situation in the last two years.  

We offer a few ways to make it easy to show your support
