Rückblick: International Come Together Special – Ein Abend der Kultur und sozialen Integration
Am 22. November 2024 lud das Welcome Center der TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe zu einem besonderen International Come Together Special ein: einem exklusiven Ballettabend im Badischen Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Diese Veranstaltung war ein weiteres Highlight der seit 2021 bestehenden Kooperation zwischen dem Welcome Center und dem Badischen Staatstheater, die das Ziel verfolgt, internationale Fachkräfte in Karlsruhe willkommen zu heißen und ihre soziale Integration zu fördern.
Im Rahmen dieser Initiative werden zweimal jährlich kulturelle Veranstaltungen organisiert, die internationale Newcomer und Netzwerkpartner zusammenbringen. So sollen nicht nur Verbindungen gestärkt, sondern auch die Willkommenskultur der Region erlebbar gemacht werden. Dieses Mal erlebten die Teilnehmenden die mitreißende Ballettaufführung »LEUCHTFEUER« mit Choreografien von Raimondo Rebeck, Kristina Paulin und Mauro Bigonzetti. Das Stück berührte durch seine eindrucksvolle Inszenierung und wurde von den rund 50 internationalen Fachkräften und Netzwerkpartnern begeistert aufgenommen.
Der Abend begann mit einem Empfang, der Raum für Austausch und interkulturelles Networking bot. Im Anschluss an die künstlerischen Darbietungen wurde deutlich, wie wichtig solche Begegnungen für die soziale Integration und das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl der internationalen Community sind. Sie fördern nicht nur den interkulturellen Dialog, sondern tragen auch dazu bei, dass Fachkräfte sich in der TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe zu Hause fühlen.
Das Welcome Center dankt dem Badischen Staatstheater für die langjährige Zusammenarbeit und allen Gästen, die den Abend zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht haben. Wir freuen uns darauf, diese erfolgreiche Kooperation in Zukunft fortzusetzen und weiterhin kulturelle Brücken zu bauen, die die Region bereichern.
