Across Europe this last month or more, different universities have start small scale projects, and support programmes for refugees.
In Tilburg University this week we have the "Support refugees with a story" project.
After a horrid journey from a warzone to an unknown place feelings of uncertainty, sadness and emptiness reign. A book offers consolation, distraction, adventure and knowledge. Support refugees with intellectual nutrition and donate English books and picture books for children. You can write a message in the book if you wish to contact the future reader.
Please donate at the entrance of the Koopmans Building or at the public library in the city centre. The first donation will be offered to the new refugee centre St Jozefzorg in Tilburg.
If members of this list would like to, I'd like to hear more about some of the refugee related projects and programmes taking place at your universities, workplaces or local community centres.
