Mission

To address significant integration challenges by offering a flexible and independent learning platform that connects volunteers with German learners, fostering new friendships, sharing cultural stories, and cultivating a welcoming global culture beyond language barriers.

Approach

The platform facilitates interactions between German learners and volunteers, fostering connections and laughter while sharing unique cultural stories.


Emphasizing the global opportunity of being welcome, "Little World" collaborates with users to cultivate a sense of welcome and enable integration, transcending language barriers.


Beyond traditional language learning, the initiative promotes real communication from person to person. By connecting learners with suitable volunteers, the platform enriches the language-learning experience.


Recognizing the diverse schedules of users, the platform offers flexibility, allowing for short, impactful sessions at convenient times. For example, a 30-minute chat once a week can make a significant difference.

Impact

Through promoting cultural exchange and breaking language barriers, "Little World" strengthens integration efforts and supports German learners in building confidence and fluency.

Our Involvement

Althafen Foundation co-finances this initiative, reflecting our commitment to supporting projects that promote cultural engagement and integration.
