ADYNE Netherlands

We are the African Diaspora Youth Network in Europe, extension Netherlands; young African migrants and young people with African backgrounds living in the Netherlands. We are motivated to serve the interest of ADYNE.We promote social integration, participation, solidarity and entrepreneurship. We offer a better approach to the integration of migrants by providingunique solutions for integration of migrants in the Netherlands through increasing and improving the role of former migrants to assist new arriving migrants in their respective municipalities. We make ourselves available for all, young African migrants and other migrants who’ve found their homes in the Netherlands. Although there are many agencies supporting immigrants with various activities; such as teaching the Dutch language, providing integration course and cultural development, etc. Immigrants keep facing several barriers that make their integration process even more difficult. Here is where ADYNE Netherlands plays a significant role by engaging former migrants to individually volunteer in supporting new migrants to integrate their hosting society through a share of best practice and basic language skills. The former migrants in this process serve as a bridge to connect the new arriving migrants and refugees with the institutions as to facilitate the integration process. We want to be the first contact point for new and unaccompanied young immigrants when they first arrive in The Netherlands and need translation service, decent housing, proper medical care, decent job opportunities, entrepreneurship opportunities and community support. Furthermore, We also supports migrants as they go through their asylum seeking and integration processes in making sure they have the best and needed legal assistance and consultation as soon as possible and subsequently receive legal attorneys to assist them with their asylum cases. ADYNE provides also training courses to migrants and migrant organizations.
