We have a global approach, and work for this in connection with the administration and local associations. Before departure, we secure accommodation and job leads in France in order to offer a lasting solution to the beneficiaries of our action. On arrival the refugees are received by the services of the prefecture and the associations in charge of their support (administrative, social, work, etc.). They are then transferred to their accommodation, which was checked before their arrival." etapes: - { lieu: "Occitanie", pays: "France", libelle: "Departure from France" } - { lieu: "Bamberg", pays: "Germany", libelle: "Halt in Bamberg" } - { lieu: "Lviv", pays: "Ukraine", libelle: "Arrival of donations in Lviv" } photos: - image: { source: "/medias/2025/04/convoi-collecte-en-magasin.webp", alt: "A volunteer of the association at a donation collection point in a shopping centre, next to a trolley", largeur: 1600, hauteur: 1197 } - image: { source: "/medias/2025/04/convoi-dons-medicaux.webp", alt: "Donations gathered on a table: a splint, hygiene products, tins", largeur: 1600, hauteur: 1197 } - image: { source: "/medias/2025/04/convoi-lits-medicalises.webp", alt: "Medical beds and medical equipment gathered in a warehouse", largeur: 1600, hauteur: 1197 } - image: { source: "/medias/2025/04/convoi-chargement.webp", alt: "Loading a truck with donations, boxes stacked on pallets", largeur: 1200, hauteur: 1600 } - image: { source: "/medias/2025/04/convoi-camion-charge.webp", alt: "The inside of a trailer loaded with boxes of donations", largeur: 1197, hauteur: 1600 } - type: "chiffres" ancre: "collection" surtitre: "With Alliance Occitanie Ukraine" titre: "Collection of donations" accroche: "We collect donations and send them with our partner [Alliance Occitanie Ukraine](/en/occitanie-ukraine-alliance/) as close as possible to the needs." entrees: - { valeur: "€55,000", libelle: "Of donations sent to Ukraine" } - { valeur: "200 m³", libelle: "Of donations sent to Ukraine", precision: "more than 200 m³" } conclusion: "Medical and paramedical equipment, hygiene products, food, warm clothes." - type: "portraits" ancre: "employment" surtitre: "Employment, the key to autonomy" titre: "Accompaniment in search of jobs" texte: |- Employment is the key to autonomy for displaced people, in particular it allows them to obtain independent housing. This is the reason why we present the local labour market to the refugees to whom we offer transport to France. Individual support is carried out by a team of volunteers in partnership with Pôle Emploi, welcoming families and associations. We first carry out a socio-professional diagnosis, then seek potential employers to whom we present the profile. The job interviews and the first days at work are secured by the presence of an interpreter, and we call on Pôle Emploi if a support measure is necessary. Examples of our successes: [The passion for leather](/en/the-passion-for-leather/), [Sport brings people together](/en/sport-brings-people-together/). In order to promote the autonomy of refugees and allow hosting families to support them, we publish guides and videos on job search in France. Following the dissemination of these guides we were contacted by numerous refugees. In order to help them we now carry out remote support in partnership with hosts or social workers on site. entrees: - nom: "Vasyl" legende: "He arrived with his family and started a job as a tiler." portrait: { source: "/medias/2022/09/vasyl.webp", alt: "Vasyl, who arrived from Ukraine, at the pub watching the France-Ukraine match", largeur: 480, hauteur: 642 } href: "/en/sport-brings-people-together/" - nom: "Lyudmila" legende: "A leather stitcher for 25 years, she joined the Fourès workshops." portrait: { source: "/medias/2022/09/lyudmila.webp", alt: "Lyudmila at her leather stitching station at the Fourès workshops", largeur: 350, hauteur: 467 } href: "/en/the-passion-for-leather/" - type: "articles" ancre: "guides" surtitre: "For refugees and their hosts" titre: "Our guides" rubrique: "/en/categorie/guide-to/" action: libelle: "All our guides" href: "/en/categorie/guide-to/" - type: "prose" ancre: "information" surtitre: "On our Facebook page" titre: "Collecting and sharing information" texte: "Faced with the multitude of sources of information, and the numerous requests and questions of refugees, we quickly understood that a collection, compilation and dissemination of information is necessary.
