This support takes various forms: as an approved school for homework, school accompaniment and remediation workshops for children and teenagers; as a local integration initiative providing courses in French as a foreign language and literacy as well as citizen orientation workshops for adults and generally providing a front-line welcome for people in social, economic or moral difficulties through listening and providing advice and guidance Following a visit by the Liège Fire Department, the building is no longer compliant to accommodate the public, which would result in not only the loss of 11 jobs but also a loss of social ties for the inhabitants of the already socially fragile neighbourhood and a probable increased school dropout rate for many children and adolescents. This is the first project to be funded jointly under the Memorandum of Understanding between GIVE EUR-HOPE and AFYLIATIS.
