State program WIR-Vielfaltszentren
The aim of the state program "WIR - Diversity Centers" is to promote the implementation of a future-oriented integration policy for people with a migration background and for the entire Hessian society.
The state program focuses on promoting a culture of welcome and recognition, developing strategies for opening up to diversity and intensifying cooperation between the state and local authorities. With the redesign of the funding program in 2021, funding and advice for non-profit migrant associations and the development of municipal diversity and integration strategies in municipalities and communities have also been included as fixed funding components in the guidelines.
Funding for partial or full financing can be applied for:
- Promotion of non-profit migrant organizations
- Promotion of projects for a culture of welcome and recognition or for intercultural openness as well as promotion of projects with new innovative approaches.
- Promotion of the qualification and deployment of volunteer integration guides.
- Funding for volunteer lay interpreters.
Public, church and independent organizations as well as migrant organizations are eligible to apply for the WIR Vielfaltszentren funding program. Information on funding can be found on the Integrationskompass Hessen (opens in a new tab) website or by calling or emailing the WIR coordinators in the state capital of Wiesbaden.
Implementation in Wiesbaden
The WIR Diversity Center of the state capital Wiesbaden is staffed by two people (WIR coordinator). The focus is on the intercultural opening of the cultural sector and the development of social spaces in terms of a culture of welcome and recognition. In 2021, a contact point for migrant organizations was also established to strengthen cooperation between migrant organizations and the city administration. The "Cooperation with migrant organizations" concept was published and implemented for this purpose. The state capital of Wiesbaden was already part of the Hessian project "Model Region Integration" and has been part of the state program WIR since 2014.
