Chatting, swirling, quizzing. With MiA.

 MiA is a lovely woman's name, and in this course, it stands for "Migrant Women Simply Strong in Everyday Life." The use of a woman's name is fitting, as the course is exclusively for women with a migration background. In a friendly, open, and above all, stress-free atmosphere, you can practice your German, make new contacts, and exchange experiences. You will also receive tips and support of all kinds to help you better manage everyday life in Germany. The MiA courses are offered in cooperation with the AWO (Workers' Welfare Association) local branch in Sonthofen and are funded by the BAMF (Federal Office for Migration and Refugees).

 The concept combines practical activities like cooking, crafting, or sewing with conversations about important everyday topics – for example, health, school, family, or dealing with authorities. Women without literacy skills can familiarize themselves with letters, while those with low literacy have the opportunity to practice and improve their reading and writing. However, the focus is primarily on the enjoyment of meeting and exchanging ideas. In this relaxed atmosphere, learning German almost becomes secondary – and happens quite naturally.

 Women aged 16 and over who have not yet obtained a school-leaving certificate or vocational qualification in Germany are eligible to participate. Recognized asylum seekers can also participate, provided they have been living in Bavaria for less than two years. Registration takes place in person during office hours at the Oberallgäu Adult Education Center and is always possible, as it is an ongoing course. Please bring your ID and residency documents. Come along and take the plunge into life with us!
