Time4You supervisor for children/young people in emergency shelter location Velsen (ship)

In the Netherlands, thousands of refugee children and young people are growing up in asylum seekers' centers and emergency reception locations. They are vulnerable and deserve our attention. The Council for Refugees has developed the Time4You project especially for them.

Time4You offers information sessions and weekly group meetings for children (8 – 12 years old) and young people (13 – 17 years old) in asylum seekers centers and emergency reception locations. During the meetings we discuss themes, provide information, children and young people are given the opportunity to ask questions or tell their story and we organize fun activities. Time4You focuses on the empowerment of children and young people living in asylum seekers' centers and defends their interests.
