ProjectAsylum procedure counselling in the district of Elbe-Elster
01.12.2024 - 31.05.2025
The project aims to assist people seeking protection in achieving independence in their lives. This support is crucial due to various challenges, including complex asylum and immigration procedures, social difficulties, and psychological stress resulting from experiences of persecution and displacement, as well as language barriers and obstacles in education and vocational training processes. To address these challenges, we are establishing barrier-free counselling services in the district. In the long term, the project aims to provide displaced people with ongoing follow-up counselling from a specialised migration social work counselling service.
Target group
The measures are aimed at people seeking protection by Section 4 No. 2 - 8 of the State Reception Act (Landesaufnahmegesetz). As an open counselling service, it is designed for people residing in shared accommodation as well as those living in private flats.
Project objectives and implementation
The project aims to provide support to people admitted to the district in managing their unique living circumstances, primarily influenced by their reception and residence status. This support is tailored to each individuals housing and accommodation situation and includes social counselling and support.
