Talent point: Bridging Language Barriers for Foreign Students and Professionals
Foreign students, professionals, and researchers often face difficulties integrating into the host society due to language barriers and limited support programs tailored to their academic and career-oriented needs. Existing offerings for integration support are primarily focused on refugees, low-skilled individuals, and the unemployed, leaving this particular group underserved.
The proposed solution involves creating AI-powered open spaces in downtown areas to provide language learning support and self-help groups for foreign students, professionals, and researchers. These spaces would offer targeted language learning programs tailored to address the specific challenges faced by individuals in academic and career contexts. By providing a welcoming environment and fostering social integration, the goal is to empower foreign individuals with the necessary language skills to thrive in their academic and professional pursuits, while also strengthening their connections to the local community in Brandenburg.
