With L'espace (Orspere-Samdarra)

Proposed by Orspere-Samdarra Updated on il y a un an

A place of welcome, exchange and expression open to all people concerned by migration to support social ties and mental health.

It's a warm, friendly place that we can build together to share our experiences, develop our skills, start actions and projects, express our creativity and find tools to help us feel better about the situations we have experienced.

A free reception without registration or appointment with monthly activities offered.

The team can welcome you in English, Arabic, Amharic, Dari, French, Italian, Pashto/Farsi, Tigrinya .

Why is it interesting?

Meet new people, overcome isolation, be welcomed in a warm and caring place...

People can express themselves in French or in their own language without being judged.

Enhance your skills, learn new things, share your culture...

Various activities are offered by the team: sport, music, communicating in French... People can share their ideas to launch new activities together.
