A refugee and migrant community is a group of individuals who form to provide mutual support, share experiences, and a sense of belonging and safety for individuals who have undergone similar challenges during their displacement. They support the integration of recently arrived refugees into their societies, including access to essential services, and they advocate raising awareness about the challenges faced by refugees and migrants.
Joining such a community allows individuals to connect with others with similar experiences. At the same time, it gives you the opportunity to access resources and information that can be crucial during the asylum procedure.

This group began its activities in July 2022 and has been successful in recruiting women who lacked specific skills. Their goal is to make them powerful. They provide learning and training classes such as language courses and info sessions and are updated every three months.
