There are a number of leisure opportunities which will help you to settle quickly in Magdeburg and to make use of your knowledge of German. You can find out about meeting people from other cultures and practising your everyday communication skills, as well as opportunities designed specifically for women, here (information sheet 'Meeting and leisure').

The Freiwilligenagentur Magdeburg (local volunteer agency) supports and gives advice to people who want to get involved as volunteers.
