SUMMARY:The shelter crisis
DESCRIPTION:In Belgium, asylum seekers are entitled to a bed, a bath and bread. Yet, an estimated 3,000 of them are currently sleeping on the streets or in squats. What is going on and how can we strengthen public support for the reception of asylum seekers?\nEurope is also facing difficulties in its asylum policy. A report from 11.11.11 reveals large-scale illegal pushback practices. And within European borders, calls for longer and higher fences are resounding. What would be the consequences of more fences? And how can international law be enforced?\nThe Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen and CNCD-11.11.11 give their analysis and propose solutions. Alexis, representative of Burundian asylum seekers in Anderlecht, comes to testify about his experience of seeking asylum in Belgium.\nAgenda:\n11am-1pm :\n\nAlexis, representative of the Burundian asylum seekers community (French, translated simultaneously into Dutch and English)\nThomas Willekens, Policy Officer at Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen (Dutch, translated simultaneously into English and French)\nCécile Vanderstappen, Research Officer on Migration Justice at CNCD-11.11.11 (French, simultaneous translation into English and Dutch)\nFriendship without Borders\n\nFor simultaneous translation, ask for an earpiece at the reception.\n1pm-2pm:\nLunch at our long table, hosted by Christa & Rose-Mary.\nSoup prepared by priest Daniel Alliët.\nA contribution is not mandatory, but always welcome.\nIn cooperation with: Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen, CNCD-11.11.11 and Friendship without borders.\n \n
