Relocation service for ESK families
I have worked for a big company in Cologne with people from all over the
World.
I´m familiar with the intercultural problems regarding moving to
Germany, and being a mother of three children also understand the
problems when re-locating a family.
I know Karlsruhe very well as I have lived here for nearly 25 years and know the city and suburbs also.
I am psychotherapist and coach by profession and I understand and can
support families cope with the stress of moving to other countries.
For the last year and a half I have been working for ITU, European Commission supporting re-located families to Karlsruhe.
It would be a great pleasure for me to help arrange re-locations to
Karlsruhe for the European School and look forward to supporting ESK families.
