The tandem programme "come together" is one of seven offers in the migration sector. Volunteers accompany adult persons and support them in networking, building social contacts and finding access to social offers in the districts of Andelfingen and Winterthur. "Meet'n'Speak" is an offer for children, adolescents and young adults with limited German skills, who can apply their language skills in everyday life and form new relationships in a language meeting or a tandem with volunteers. This also includes the food meeting "stir it up", where a group of volunteers and young people cook together.
