CAFE EUROPE in English

Welcome to Cafe Europe online course for youngsters!

             Cafe Europe has the goal to build a strong, fertile social and business growing ground for youth. It will provide social inclusiveness, help refugees and migrants to build a stable network, help them enter the market, and solve social problems related to the migration of youth.

         We are a meeting place for social and commercial activity for every young person. From youth migrants and refugees to native youngsters, they are all welcome to develop their social skills, learn more about foreign cultures, expand their network and gain working experience. The Cafe serves as a place to gain work experience, but also to provide a space to sell, for instance, second-hand clothing, crafts or paintings. This brings youngsters the opportunity to build their own portfolio and CV to reach up to employment in other areas.

          Newcomers will be encouraged to take up projects together with native youngsters, like organising an event or work together on a business plan. Besides the business side of the meeting place, the Cafe will focus on integration, learning the local language and customs, preparing the youth for education or work. A strong focus will lie on what the youth can do, instead of what they can't.

         Young refugees and migrants need to have a place where they can develop themselves because statistically speaking, a large part of refugees and migrants never reach the line of becoming financially independent. Many of them remain dependent on the benefits of the government for their entire life. It is a shame that this is not the reality in Europe yet but Cafe Europe wants to give the same opportunities to migrants and refugees that the native European people have. The same opportunities for everybody to become financially independent and to make the most of their own lives. This will give them a much stronger position in society and to find their own network that they can build on further.
