Refugees Welcome

Refugees Welcome wants to promote change and a new model of Welcome. Horizontal hospitality is the best way to facilitate the inclusion of refugees in our country and it helps, more than any other support, to overcome vulnerabilities. In addition, it creates safe spaces that encourage the expression of personal potential, participation in the community and collective well-being. 

For refugees, being part of a shared household can be a decisive moment on the way to their full autonomy. Living with people who know the environment is the best way to become part of a community and quickly learn the social and cultural context of the host country. The new roommate can help the refugee easily create a social network, improve language skills or invest in their life project. Goals like re-starting studies or finding a job are much easier with a local person by your side.

You can be a Welcome Culture activist in many ways:

 

Being part of the local teams:

– As a local link, facilitating coexistence between
local and displaced people.

– Sharing your professional skills with the project: You know photography, wordpress, CRM, social networks, graphic design, event organization, working with people
vulnerable, writing projects, languages ​​or video?
Founding or strengthening a local group of Refugees.
