DeutschBon German course - German course with voucher in Bern
The City of Bern's Priority Plan on Migration and Racism for the years 2022 to 2025 continues to support foreign speakers in attending German courses. As part of this, the City of Bern is promoting language acquisition as a central pillar of its integration policy. The project provides for the distribution of 600 German vouchers worth CHF 400 each, which are publicly advertised and drawn by lot among foreign-language speakers.
Language skills in the respective national language are of great importance for many areas of life, be it for career advancement, social integration in the community or participation in social processes. Appropriate German language skills are also a key criterion of the Foreign Nationals and Integration Act introduced in 2019 for obtaining settlement and residence permits or for applying for a Swiss passport. With the "DeutschBon", the City of Bern is making an important contribution to language integration as part of the 2022-2025 Priority Plan on Migration and Racism and supports low-income foreign-language residents with a voucher for German courses.
All persons who meet the criteria are entitled to receive a DeutschBon voucher. This includes all adult and foreign language residents of the city of Bern and the municipality of Ostermundigen who would like to learn German as a foreign language and who do not already receive financial support for the German course from another institution such as the social welfare office, the RAV or the AHV-IV pension office. Anyone who receives a voucher can redeem it for a group course at selected language schools in the city of Bern or the municipality of Ostermundigen.
The ILS-Bern is delighted to be involved in the project and make its contribution to the linguistic integration of foreign speakers. Our school will be represented at the "German Fair" with exciting attractions and will advise interested parties. For over 10 years, we have been helping people from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds to learn foreign languages. Our philosophy: learning in a relaxed and personal atmosphere with an individual focus in small groups. In our courses, we support the participants with maximum commitment and always try to make everyday course life as varied and exciting as possible. This includes lots of fun and games in class as well as our extracurricular activities in the city of Bern.
We are delighted to contribute our many years of experience to this project. We hope to be involved in similar support programs in other cities and regions in the future.
