À propos du programme

Join the Refugee and Migrant Support Program in Athens, Greece! As the capital of Greece, Athens has become a refuge for diverse and unique individuals fleeing conflict in neighboring countries. Over the last few years, the city has seen a significant influx of refugees, many of whom have been separated from their families during their journey. Various organizations have established host centers where refugees are placed until they can reunite with their families or complete their asylum-seeking procedures.

In this program, you will visit a local refugee host center where you will engage with teenagers, young people, and adults in informal ways. Your role will be to create a comfortable and safe space for them to express themselves through sports, arts, or simple social interactions, allowing them to connect with each other and with you. The aim is to help them spend their free time in meaningful and valuable ways.

It's important to remember that you will be interacting daily with individuals who may be dealing with PTSD, teenagers who have never attended school or experienced a safe family environment, and victims of torture. Building trust may take time, and patience is key to creating a supportive atmosphere.

What to Expect:

  • Sports Engagement: Organize and participate in daily sports training, play on outdoor fields, and teach healthy eating habits to encourage physical well-being.

  • Arts Engagement: Lead activities such as playing musical instruments, teaching photography and drawing, performing drama classes, and sharing any other artistic skills you have to offer.

  • Social Café Support: Help run a social café by preparing and serving coffee, juice, and lunch to the café’s beneficiaries, providing a welcoming space for refugees to relax and socialize.

Daily Tasks:

  • Sports Activities: Conduct sports sessions, train participants, and promote healthy lifestyles through physical activities.

  • Arts and Crafts: Facilitate art workshops, music sessions, drama classes, and other creative activities that provide a positive outlet for self-expression.

  • Café Operations: Prepare and serve food and drinks in the social café, ensuring a friendly and supportive environment for refugee children and adults.

  • Build Connections: Engage with refugees through conversation and activities, helping them build trust and feel more integrated into the community.

Why Join?

  • Make an Impact: Support refugees in Athens by providing them with meaningful activities and a safe space to express themselves.

  • Gain Experience: Develop skills in community engagement, arts, sports, and café operations while working with vulnerable populations.

  • Cultural Immersion: Experience the diverse culture of Athens while contributing to the well-being of refugees and asylum seekers.

Honestly, I was surprised, when on the website it shows photos of so many dogs, animals, it turned out I was working at a cat sanctuary. It's not that I was disappointed by the cats, it was just a shock, and also, at points of the sanctuary I feel like I wasn't apart of it massively, there wasn't ...
