How it works
How does Was Wie Warum in Österreich (WaWiWa) work?
Depending on the status of the decision on asylum, everyone has different possibilities regarding the integration in Austria. There are 8 steps for a successful integration in Austria:
As an asylum seeker I should use the time in the asylum accommodation to…
- learn German
- work as a volunteer, since I don’t have a working permit in Austria, yet
- get information about this country
- find Austrian friends
- receive education and
- use my day in a structured way, so that the time spent in the asylum accommodation is not time lost.
As soon as I have my decision on asylum or subsidiary protection, I should…
- go to work
- find an apartment
- register at the „Österreichischen Integrationsfonds“ (ÖIF) to get advice regarding my integration.
The team of Was Wie Warum in Österreich (WaWiWa) is 100% sure that these are the main steps for success in Austria. Once you follow these 8 steps, you have everything to be as successful as an Austrian in Austria.
