Internationality and diversity are very important at Aux!

In Augsburg, almost 50 percent of the population has a migrant background. Internationality and diversity are therefore very important! Many international associations and initiatives are also committed to this. For example, at the Grandhotel Cosmopolis, where refugees, artists and travellers come together.

Many regional companies are also getting involved. They have been relying on foreign workers since before the acute shortage of skilled labour, and also offer special support services. Leading the way is Tür an Tür – Integrationsprojekte GmbH, which has gained great recognition through its activities such as the Mentoring Partnership Augsburg and its contributions to ‘Migranet’.
