Integration Centre
Integration Centre for Asylum Seekers, Refugees and the Polish community living in the Mazowieckie region
Last month the Association for Asylum Seekers and Refugees opened the doors of its integration centre in ulica Oleandrów. The centre will be open six days per week and will provide a space for encouraging integration activities. For example, meetings; information exchange and language programmes for asylum seekers, refugees and Polish citizens who are unable to pay for such lessons or who are having problems in school.
The centre is being run by the Association for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Poland: members of its ethnic council (made up of representatives from each country from which refugees living in Poland come) and a team of volunteers.
The integration centre aims to add to the association’s activities by providing a direct contact point between the local community and the asylum seekers and refugees community. It also aims to provide information about the country in which the asylum seekers and refugees have chosen to live as well as breaking communication barriers between people of different nationalities by providing several free of charge language programmes.
We are looking for financial support to enable us to run such a centre. As well as rent and other running costs, refreshments will be provided to users and workers in the centre.
If additional support is available, we intend to initiate further activities in the centre. We will add a computer terminal allowing users of the centre to improve their computer skills as well as access the internet free of charge. We would introduce cultural activities such as playing traditional instruments and dancing from various countries from which asylum seekers and refugees come. Eventually it is our hope that we could develop a multi-media centre to allow us to show films and documentaries about various countries as well as teaching material.
If you are able to provide us with any support for our centre, or would like to meet us personally for more details please contact us: assref@hotmail.com
