In cooperation with the Austrian Students’ Union (ÖH) Salzburg, there are students who are dedicated to welcoming newcomers. These students are called "Buddies" and they are prepared not only to help those granted asylum and asylum seekers in their university studies, but also to help them adjust to daily life. The refugee project of the Students’ Union Salzburg includes a Language Café, city walks and the Friend System. The Language Café is designed to help the new students learn German or to improve upon their already existing German language skills. The city walking tours include facilities and places located in the center of town that are relevant to refugees. The city walks are guided in several languages (Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish etc.,) and are aided by using individually created city maps. "Friends" commit themselves to accompanying and helping the refugees as they become more familiar with everyday life here.
