The Ennepetal Integration Council is launching a regular consultation service to facilitate dialogue with citizens. Starting September 3, 2026, the council will hold open office hours from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Mehrgenerationenhaus on Neustraße 3.

These sessions are intended to occur on the first Thursday of every month, providing a platform for residents to discuss integration, coexistence, and specific challenges. Salvatore Balbo, chairman of the Integration Council, stated that the initiative aims to create a reliable contact point and act as a link between people with migration backgrounds, politics, and local administration.
