Education & Awareness
The Here to Support Academy creates an inclusive society by facilitating education and engaging in collective action on various topics. Many undocumented people have easy access to Dutch classes or practical courses, yet the possibilities for in-dept programmes and action is limited. In the Here to Support Academy, themes that are relevant to undocumented citizens of Amsterdam are discussed in academy series: media, asylum law, politics, women’s rights and decolonial action.
By educating people in the history of asylum law and their rights in the Netherlands, and by empowering them in Dutch society, they are increasingly becoming part of our democracy and the rule of law. In addition, they gain more control over the situation in which they find themselves.
Through the various sustainability projects that take place after each curriculum in the form of events and presentations, we try to make the connection between people with and without papers. Through this exchange of ideas and perspectives, the Academy aims to contribute to a more inclusive society.
The Academy Series takes place several times each year. To keep up with the programmes, please check our Instagram (@here_to_support_amsterdam), the Amsterdam City Rights App, or text Fanny: +31 6 86306722.
