SOME OF OUR EVENTS
Recruitment Day – 12 November 2024
Recruitment day is an employment initiative created through a partnership between Burger King, Quick and UNHCR with the collaboration of be.brussels.
It is part of a broader effort to help refugees build new lives in Belgium by offering them a pathway into the workforce.
By partnering with large companies, we seek to provide refugees holding a basic level of language proficiency with job opportunities, which is key to their social and economic integration.
The project focuses on creating stable, long-term employment opportunities for refugees, who often face challenges when entering the workforce, including limited access to job opportunities, language barriers, and a lack of local experience.
Ukraine independence day – 24 August 2024
The Ukrainian Voices Refugee Committee prepared a whole series of events to promote Ukrainian culture, history, and unity. The festivities spanned four days filled with communication, cultural events, and opportunities to reflect on the values of Ukraine.
