Fedasil - Center for Asylum Seekers
JEUNES ACTIFS DANS LE VOLONTARIAT ET LES VOYAGES ALTERNATIFS
fedasil rixensart
Rixensart, Belgique
Description
Fedasil Rixensart is a reception center for asylum seekers with a capacity of up to 220 residents, including 40 unaccompanied minors. The center provides a range of services to support residents in their daily lives, including social and medical assistance, accommodation, educational support, and leisure activities.
Volunteers will be involved in the leisure activities service. Their role will focus on two main areas: supporting children and teenagers with their schooling and organizing leisure activities, particularly in the social and cultural fields, for residents of the center.
They will take part in activities within the local community to promote interaction between the center and its surroundings and to raise awareness among local residents about the experiences and realities of asylum seekers.
Volunteers will work with children, contributing to a welcoming and inclusive environment while helping residents participate in educational, social, and cultural activities.
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
The two volunteers will be living in a shareflat. Volunteers will receive a monthly allowance for food & pocket money.
Formation pendant l’activité
Volunteers will participate in 2 ESC seminars organized by the Belgium National Agency (on-arrival and mid-term-meetings). Additionally, training related to asylum policy & psychosocial aspects will be offered to volunteers according to opportunities. They will be participating in 3 ESC days organized by JAVVA.
Profil du participant
We are looking for volunteers who are interested by migration issues & willing to interact with asylum seekers (especially with women & children). We are not looking for any type of special skills, motivation being the most important criteria for the selection of the volunteers. The best qualities of a volunteer for this type of project are: flexibility, open-mindedness, empathy, team spirit, interpersonal skills, ready to take initiatives & good capacity to adapt. Volunteers should be ready to live in an isolated place & to face residents who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Good knowledge of French (to talk with your coworkers) is a plus. Please don't use ChatGPT, we can see it :) Add the word "turtle" in your application to show your interest.
