APC/CZA is visiting Centre for Unaccompanied Child

APC/CZA is visiting Centre for Unaccompanied Children and Youth in city of Niš. Our team regularly visits same institution and holds children workshops of different type in order to support children-occupants who were lucky enough to get accommodated in the same place and under 24/7 attention of Centre’s social welfare professionals. At the moment, three kids are currently accommodated in this institution, a girl from Morocco and two boys from Syria and Afghanistan. The topic of today's empowering workshop was Safety on the Internet. The aim of the workshop to educate children in using extremely popular social networks in a safe and controlled manner. The kids are visibly excited and more than willing to participate. In these little ones, who have experienced so much for their age, there is always a space for positive energy and additional motivation. Still though, no one has warned them about the dangers on the Internet until now that can be numerous and inappropriate to their 'sensitive' age. Same existing risks are often linked with smuggling and human trafficking, lurking along Balkan migration routes once reaching Serbia. Thus, APC/CZA staff worked together with the guardians and Centre’s social staff to prepare and advise these kids on the safest way how to use the Internet and social networks and what to do to stay protected. The gratitude and content that can be read on their smiling faces at the end of the session is touching. The APC/CZA team is back as early as next week, to hold another workshop, entertain and teach these amazing kids, as well as those who may arrive at the Niš Centre for Unaccompanied Minors in the coming days. #children

The APC staff together with a refugee from Ukraine

The APC staff together with a refugee from Ukraine are warmly welcomed at the National Employment Service in Novi Sad. After helping her to obtain the temporary protected status and ID card, APC is helping its Ukrainian beneficiary to apply and obtain its first work permit in local Serbian community. Our organization, which provides support to refugees in the various spheres, such as legal and psycho-social aid, always places special emphasis on employment and integration of refugees into the local community. Certainly, one of the best ways to achieve sustained integration is to secure employment. In addition, our Ukrainian beneficiary is also learning Serbian language in order to steady down in a new local environment as easily and quickly as possible, which our organization wholeheartedly supports. As one of the most vulnerable groups, refugees are in dire need of help and support, which they can get from APC at any stage of their stay in local community. This also applies to contacting potential employers, helping to sign the contracts, as well as monitoring the employment process itself. Moreover, APC always strives to inform its beneficiaries properly and help them exercise their rights, whether coming from Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa or any other area. Of course, our interpreters play rather important role in the whole holistic process of APC’s local refugee support.

Asylum Protection Center provides free legal aid a

Asylum Protection Center provides free legal aid and assistance to Ukrainian refugees in obtaining temporary protection or in seeking asylum in Serbia.
Unfortunately, temporary protection is not available to Ukrainian refugees solely by entering and staying in Serbia. In order to exercise your rights as Ukrainian refugee in scope of temporary protection in Serbia, you need to take a number of legal steps in which lawyers of APC can help you. In addition, APC Social integration section helps Ukrainian refuges to access labor market. With our integration assistance and process of searching employers, many of asylum seekers and refugees in Serbia got employed in different positions and working places (workshops, factories, restaurants, firms, etc.) in Serbia.

The APC-CZA integration sector organized the works

The APC-CZA integration sector organized the workshop "Presenting the countries and cultures we are coming from" at the Asylum Center in Krnjača. This integration workshop was organized for the purpose of presenting and exchanging
local customs, prejudices, taboos, beliefs and other local tradition regarding Serbia and countries from which participants were coming from, so that participants can become better acquainted with the culture and way of life of the country in which they want to build their future.
Learning more about other countries’ cultural, religious, historical and traditional patterns will help refugees to better understand diversity and idea of integration through tolerance, interaction and synergy, as mutual moving process that respects difference and promotes inclusion in local communities. Participants from Pakistan, Burundi, Syria and Serbia took part in the workshop. The workshop ended with a group discussion on the biggest cultural and other challenges that asylum seekers face, while a cultural mediator together with social worker from the APC-CZA team empowered participants and gave them practical advices on how to deal with challenges and how to proceed in integration in their hosting Serbian local community.

APC/CZA in the south of Serbia is welcoming refuge

APC/CZA in the south of Serbia is welcoming refugees in our regional office in Presevo. Many families are accommodated in reception centers across Southern Serbia, and in need for psychosocial support, creative work, cultural exchange and interaction with locals. In that regard, we are involving our network of volunteers from the local communities to connect with the refugees, to share their stories, experience, to take part in creative and cultural workshops and provide humanitarian aid in order to help refugees to feel less isolated living in the camps in respective local communities.

APC team member welcoming Ukrainian mother and her

APC team member welcoming Ukrainian mother and her four kids in our northern office in Subotica. Our organization supports Ukrainian families across Serbia and is helping them to resolve their legal status. In the case of concrete family, APC legally informed them and helped them to reach temporary protection in Serbia, as well as to obtain their new temporary protection IDs. Moreover, APC provided older siblings, brother and sister, with new school-bags and other school materials they needed. The children were very excited when they saw these small gifts and witnessed warm welcome by APC local staff. Nevertheless, APC does not stop here and will keep following the kids on course of their adaptation process in the school. Moreover, APC pedagogist will stay in regular contact with the children, parents and school pedagogist in order to offer support and share valuable experiences, but also to monitor adaptation of children’s progress within the class and more generally within the school. Our organization will provide interpreter support if needed in the initall phase of the enrollment, while our legal staff addresses administration issues in order to overcome bureaucratic challenges related to the formal process of children’s enrollment, registering into school diary and the ordinary school evidention. More importantly, our support to children and their parents will not end after that, but will be built upon relation of trust and tailored to concrete needs, emerging on course of their socialization and integration into local school and into local community.

Asylum Protection Center was part of the regional

Asylum Protection Center was part of the regional project “COVID-19 Challenges within the Migrant and Refugee Response in the Western Balkans”, that culminated with the Conference held on 23.06.2022, at Hotel DoubleTree by Hilton, in Skopje.
The regional project/cooperation is implemented in North Macedonia by (Legis), Serbia by (Asylum Protection Center) and Bosnia and Herzegovina by (International Forum of Solidarity – EMMAUS).
APC presented results of its country research regarding response of the Serbian Health care system to COVID-19 challenges. Together with LEGIS and MFS-EMMAUS, APC provided local and regional statistical and qualitative data on the access to prevention and protection measures against the COVID-19 virus and access to general state health services for refugees and migrants in North Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project is supported by The Balkan Trust for Democracy, project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States (BTD).
APC is a part of the regional researching team that is aiming to shed a light to refugees’ access to health care and to systemic challenges that were appearing on course of Covid-19 pandemic in countries along EU-Western Balkans migration routes.

Conference "COVID19 Challenges in response to refugees in Western Balkans"

APC held presentation and public discussion regarding results of the first ever research conducted on response of Serbian health system to the COVID-19 challenges in protection of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, in Nova Iskra hub in Belgrade on 18.03.2022. Run in coordination with parallel country researches conducted in N. Macedonia and Bosnia, under the common researching project supported by Balkan Trust for Democracy, our research on health protection of migrants in the times of COVID-19 was a part of a bigger regional comparative research approach undertaken together with our peer organizations Legis from N. Macedonia @legismk and Međunarodni forum solidarnosti EMMAUS from Bosnia @mfs_emmaus

APC collected and analyzed relevant data and the statistics, undertook interviews with relevant stakeholders and with representative number of migrants who experienced health challenges regarding COVID-19 pandemic, to conclude that successful implementation of COVID-19 measures was questionable in practice and even impossible in some of accommodation centers. Unexpectedly, number of migrants officially recognized to be infected with COVID-19 was surprisingly low in spite of limited living space, overcrowded camps, initial lack of protective gears, partially because migrants and camps management staff didn’t recognize initial symptoms as signs of COVID-19 and medical assistance and COVID-19 testing were not sought.

Nevertheless, access to the general health care for migrants was not significantly hindered by the COVID-19 challenges, while EU was funding overall health care services provided to this population, creating project-based health care system for migrants, as rather unsustainable for protection of migrants (irregular migrants, asylum seekers and refugees) on a long run.
