Tandem-Program
We connect immigrants who want to improve their German language skills with seniors who want to meet new people and brush up on their foreign language skills.
Community Events
We organize regular events for immigrants so that they can get to know each other better, exchange tips about life in Germany and make friends.
Testimonials
DHP has helped me a lot especially during these Corona times to keep and expand a social life. I met new people and we also met outside DHP for coffee or an aperitif.
The meeting of 2 different generations is a wonderful idea and very helpful not only to improve the language but also the possibility to experience our knowledge of the German culture thanks to the experiences and stories of German seniors.
I still feel like a twenty year old traveling through Europe alone to find myself and even if today I am 20 years older, with DHP I still feel this feeling and for me it has a great meaning.
I've been learning German since I arrived here, but I almost never practice it because I only need English for work and all my friends, even the Germans, speak perfect English, so this was my first place where I really had to communicate in German, and it's great.
Mainly to practice my German and because I really like cultural events to learn more about countries.
The elderly are very nice and they have very interesting life stories to tell.
Why it's important that we exist
The Hello Project solves three social problems:
Loneliness, Social Isolation, Insufficient Integration.
Munich has approximately 29% foreign residents. Many speak English or other languages in their jobs and thus rarely use their German skills despite language classes.
Over 22% of Munich residents are over 65 years old. Many have no family or acquaintances in the immediate vicinity and spend much of their time alone. Others have a low pension and can only participate in social activities to a limited extent.
Our
Story
begins with Lisi
Lisi Brizuela is our founder. She is originally from a small town in the Argentine part of Patagonia. In Buenos Aires she studied International Relations and volunteered in different Argentinean non-profit organizations. When she came to Germany in 2013, she wanted to get socially involved here as well. When she realized from her personal experience the challenges immigrants face in integrating and at the same time the social isolation that both seniors and immigrants experience, she wanted to do something about it. This is how she came up with the idea for The Hello Project. Through the project, she wanted to bring together two very different groups through an intercultural and intergenerational exchange to ensure active integration, combat loneliness and promote mutual support.
