Our newest pilot project: The StartWien Hub is coming!

"The StartWien Hub is the new education and advice hub of the city of Vienna in the 20th district. What is special about it is the holistic support it provides to newly immigrated families. They receive comprehensive education, advice and information services in one place that will help them to successfully gain a foothold in Vienna in the first few months after their arrival." - this is how our managing director Lejla Sirbubalo describes our latest project, the StartWien Hub, which is scheduled to open in autumn 2024.

The new project received a strong media response – among others, the Kurier, MeinBezirk, ORF, Salzburger Nachrichten, PULS24 and Vienna.at reported about the pilot project StartWien Hub.
