Associations, Initiatives, and Intercultural Exchange
In the IZ, visitors will meet various associations and groups that will present their work and give insights into their topics. The International Center is regarded as an open house for education and cultural diversity; approximately 900 square meters are available for events. This mixture of closeness, openness, and local anchoring defines the character of the evening. ([duisburg.de](https://www.duisburg.de/microsites/wir_sind_du/kommunales_integrationszentrum/iz))
A Place with History and Clear Function
The International Center is located at Flachsmarkt 15 in the historic city center of Duisburg, right next to the Cultural and City History Museum. It is used by the Municipal Integration Center and is intended for intercultural groups, training sessions, and encounter formats. This creates a credible framework for visitors, where encounters are not only asserted but also organizationally supported.
