Conclusio

Conclusio offers asylum seekers no value courses, it offers valuable work, work valued by the community. And asylum seekers embrace this opportunity of exchanging voluntary work against time so eagerly that new fields of work have to be added all the time. For future use, apprentice trainers have started checking on time bank contributors’ skills. Early integration into a neighbourhood network by means of concrete joint work allows encounter and mutual recognition. Out of this comes trust. The communities benefit from the potential of those who, fleeing, ended up in their arms. A socially innovative form of regional development, set up with circumspection, immediately applicable, providing effectively, for all.
