Polnischer Sozialrat e. V.

Polnischer Sozialrat e. V. (Polish: Polska Rada Społeczna) is a non-profit, registered association (eingetragener Verein) based in Germany that works for the improvement of the living and working conditions of EU citizens in Germany, with a particular focus on people of Polish and other Eastern European origin. Its public-facing work is delivered mainly through the website polskarada.de, which presents the association's counselling services, projects and current activities in Polish and German. The association describes its mission as supporting people who have arrived in Germany through counselling, training, volunteering and mentoring. Its advisers are presented as having many years of experience in resolving difficult cases, and the organisation highlights as a distinguishing feature its knowledge of working and living conditions in both Poland and Germany. It states that it understands the differences between the two countries and the resulting difficulties newcomers face in finding their footing in German realities. Counselling is a core service. The association lists health counselling, consumer counselling, family counselling, social counselling and psychological counselling. Social counselling covers topics such as social integration, social benefits and benefits for children. Counselling sessions are offered by prior appointment, arranged by telephone or email, with published opening hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10:00–16:00, Friday 10:00–15:00, and Wednesday closed. Beyond individual advice, Polnischer Sozialrat e. V. runs projects. These include MSD (Migrationssozialdienst), a social counselling centre for migrants mainly of Eastern European origin; BFD (Bundesfreiwilligendienst, the German federal volunteer service); and MBE (Migrationsberatung für erwachsene Zuwanderer, migration counselling for adult immigrants). The association also publishes news and statements, such as a statement against racism and in solidarity with EOTO e.V., and community activities such as a fathers' club (Klub Ojców) and art classes. As a civil-society organisation rather than a commercial company, the association operates in the social and integration sector in Germany. Its work is aimed at EU citizens, migrants and their families, and it positions itself as a bridge between Polish and German contexts, using bilingual communication and culturally informed advice.
