Date: 2023-06-13

Sonia Vargas and Shubh Panwala have introduced 'Together in Germany,' a platform designed to help migrants and refugees better integrate into German society. The Open Social platform provides reliable information about various aspects of life in Germany, in nine different languages. The project uses the open-source system to offer a forum where users can ask and answer questions. Community managers oversee the forum, ensuring the accuracy of the provided information. Despite some initial technical issues and funding limitations, the team plans to upgrade their systems for enhanced user experience and introduce one-on-one counseling services.
