Wisamar is a non-profit educational institute in Leipzig, Germany active in vocational, cultural and adult education. Wisamar is accredited by TÜV as education provider according to AZAV principles (employment activities for the Federal Employment Office) and also by the Office for Migration and Refugees as Integration Course Provider.

Wisamar works in four areas:

Integration – labour market and social integration: This part of our work includes integration courses and other offers for people with migrant background (Accreditation by German Office for Migration and Refugees). Besides, we offer different approaches to support the labour market integration of drop-outs and unemployed in general as well as for people seeking orientation. We give competence analysis, job application training, further education and also start-up consultancy as well as courses aiming at empowerment and activation of the unemployed.

Further education: We have several further training offers related to working life but also more informal areas. Current regular offers are Computer literacy / IT / Web programming, Internationalisation and EU Mobility, Innovative teaching methods and Storytelling in Education.

Project Office: We are an experienced partner and coordinator of different EU funded projects in thematic areas such as social and labour market integration, innovations in education and culture & creativity.

EU Mobility & Mobility Consultancy: Annually we welcome around 400 persons in EU mobility projects and send trainees and trainers from our region abroad. Our incoming and outgoing projects already received best practice awards, the German National Agency mentioned one of our mobility projects at their website as a good practice reference. Besides, we serve as expert on this topic e.g. at the EC campaigns “Youth on the Move” and “We mean Business” where we gave presentations on EU Mobility. The German National Agency mentions us as one of the Regional Mobility Consultancies.

The aim of the organisation is the promotion of education, tolerance and international attitude in all spheres of understanding between different people, cultures and education.
