Icelandic Red Cross - Social Support for Asylum Seekers 2024
ALTHJODLEG UNGMENNASKIPTI-AUS
RAUDI KROSSINN A ISLANDI
Reykjavík, Islandija
Opis
The volunteer will work as part of the Red Cross program Social Support for Asylum Seekers. The program consists of several targeted projects that carry out weekly social activities for people applying for international protection in Iceland. Activities currently take place in Árskógar Community Center, Vitatorg Community Center and in Reykjanesbaer, a 45 minutes’ drive from Reykjavik. Social activities currently include a Women’s Group, Youth Club, Open House and Language Classes. The program aims to help reduce social isolation and give asylum seekers an opportunity to stay active during the application period, as well as offer a platform to meet, connect, socialize, and learn about Icelandic society and culture. A key element of the Red Cross support program in addressing the challenge of not only reducing social isolation but working towards the social inclusion of people seeking international protection in Iceland is involving the greater public—through volunteering.
