Successful integration requires more than just language skills. It is of great importance that immigrants learn about the history, culture and values of the target country at an early stage. The more you know about the target country, the better your chances of finding your way in the new society. For this reason, the Goethe-Institut has developed some materials from the pre-integration offers and hopes that these will be helpful for immigrants.

Tender-Bitter

In 2017, the Goethe-Institut Hanoi held a competition entitled “Tender-Bitter”, calling for submissions by Vietnamese migrants to Germany sharing their first-hand experience of the country. In their linguistic and temporal diversity, the nineteen submissions fill the idea of interculturality with life, German history and German-Vietnamese stories. They are true real-life experiences, often touching, rich and diverse in their complexity, encouraging readers to reflect on what makes us call a place home.
