experience and activities
AFIDEL provides three (chronological) types of support. First of all, for people who are not Francophones, the aim is for them to learn French and master communication skills necessary in daily life. The French teacher will identify each student’s individual needs, including in areas such as literacy and social inclusion. The second step is to identify each person’s career objectives and reach them through training, internship and/or employment. Lastly, AFIDEL collaborates with a local organic market garden on a job integration programme, supporting the training on technical (from growing the seeds to the delivery of the end product) and social skills (team-work, the operational framework of the job place, communication).
Trainings for migrants and refugees.
