Ο δρόμος προς το φως περνούσε μέσα από το Κέντρο Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας για την 57χρονη Ελληνίδα


από το Κέντρο Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας του SolidarityNow

 Μια σημαντική υπόθεση που κλήθηκε να χειριστεί η ομάδα της κοινωνικής υπηρεσίας του Κέντρου Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας (ΚΑΑ) του SolidarityNow τους τελευταίους μήνες, ήταν αυτή της 57χρονης Ελληνίδας που στο παρελθόν ήταν συστηματικά θύμα κακοποίησης από στενούς συγγενείς της.

H Ε.Κ. ήταν αναγκασμένη, σχεδόν όλα τα χρόνια της ζωής της, να μένει κυρίως μέσα στο σπίτι, δεν είχε την ευκαιρία να γίνει φοιτήτρια, ούτε είχε την άδεια να εργαστεί. Μετά από δεκαετίες περιορισμών και μοναξιάς, βρήκε τη δύναμη να απευθυνθεί στο Κέντρο Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας, σε μια προσπάθεια να κερδίσει πίσω τη ζωή της, περπατώντας σε έναν δρόμο με φως και αντιμετωπίζοντας τους οικονομικούς, κοινωνικούς και ψυχολογικούς στραγγαλισμούς που είχε υποστεί.

Στο Κέντρο, αφού έγινε ενδελεχής μελέτη και αξιολόγηση των αναγκών της από την Κοινωνική υπηρεσία, παραπέμφθηκε στην Ψυχολογική υπηρεσία για να ενδυναμωθεί, να χτίσει βήμα-βήμα την αυτοεκτίμησή της και να πραγματοποιήσει μικρά αλλά αποφασιστικά βήματα, ώστε να γίνει ένας κοινωνικά ενεργός άνθρωπος.

Σε πολύ σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα, η Ε.Κ σημείωσε τεράστια  πρόοδο, γεγονός που επέτρεψε στην υπηρεσία Απασχολησιμότητας να παρέμβει και να υποστηρίξει την προσπάθειά της να αναζητήσει ενεργά εργασία. Με συντονισμένες προσπάθειες των υπηρεσιών Κοινωνικής και Λογιστικής υποστήριξης, η ωφελούμενη κατάφερε να επιλύσει οικονομικά και περιουσιακά ζητήματα και να γίνει δικαιούχος του ΚΕΑ (ελάχιστο εγγυημένο εισόδημα).

Δυστυχώς, η πρόσφατη απόφαση του Υπουργείου Οικονομικών που αύξησε την αντικειμενική (εκτιμώμενη) αξία ακινήτων στην πόλη της Αθήνας, είχε ως αποτέλεσμα τον αποκλεισμό της Ε.Κ., μαζί με χιλιάδες άλλους δικαιούχους, από το πρόγραμμα ΚΕΑ.

Για αυτό το θέμα, το SolidarityNow μέσω του Τμήματος Συνηγορίας δημοσίευσε δελτίο τύπου, φέρνοντας στο φως αυτή την «αδικία». Μετά την ανάδειξη του θέματος, ανεξάρτητη βουλευτής ενημέρωσε την οργάνωση ότι υπέβαλε σχετική ερώτηση στον Υπουργό Οικονομικών ζητώντας παρέμβαση και λύση, ώστε τα πιο ευάλωτα μέλη της κοινωνίας να μπορούν να συνεχίσουν να επωφελούνται από το ΚΕΑ, ανεξάρτητα από τις πρόσφατες αλλαγές στη φορολογική πολιτική.

*Από τον Αύγουστο 2022, το Κέντρο Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας χρηματοδοτείται από τα EEA Grants με διαχειριστή της δωρεάς τους ΣΟΛ Crowe και HumanRights360.

**Το Κέντρο Αλληλεγγύης Αθήνας υποστηρίζεται επίσης από τον Δήμο Αθηναίων.

«Κάνουμε πολύ ωραίες συζητήσεις με τους δασκάλους».- Αφιέρωμα: «Πριν χτυπήσει το κουδούνι»


Η Αλεξάνδρα, δασκάλα στο «Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων» του SolidarityNow στο Βαγιοχώρι μοιράζεται μαζί μας τις σκέψεις της και το ίδιο κάνουν οι 12χρονοι Hasti και Kosar με ενθουσιασμό!

Hasti, από το Αφγανιστάν

Τί έχεις μάθει μέχρι τώρα στο «Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων»;
Στο Κέντρο μαθαίνω πολλά πράγματα – αγγλικά, ελληνικά, μαθηματικά. Συνήθως, δυσκολεύομαι να καταλάβω τα μαθήματα στο άλλο σχολείο, οπότε ερχόμαστε εδώ, ζητάμε βοήθεια και οι δάσκαλοι μας βοηθούν. Μετά, πάμε πάλι στο σχολείο και μπορούμε να ανταποκριθούμε καλύτερα.

Υπάρχει μια αγαπημένη σου στιγμή στο Κέντρο;

Αγαπώ τις στιγμές που παίζουμε επιτραπέζια παιχνίδια, UNO, που διαβάζω βιβλία και κάνω χειροτεχνίες!

Kosar, από το Αφγανιστάν

Τί έχεις μάθει μέχρι τώρα στο «Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων»;
Στο Κέντρο μαθαίνουμε πολλά πράγματα για την ελληνική και την αγγλική γλώσσα και παίζουμε μαθηματικά παιχνίδια. Οι δάσκαλοι μας βοηθούν επίσης με τις εργασίες που έχουμε από το σχολείο και μας εξηγούν ό,τι δεν καταλαβαίνουμε.

Υπάρχει μια αγαπημένη σου στιγμή στο Κέντρο;

Μου αρέσει που μαθαίνουμε παίζοντας και που κάνουμε πολύ ωραίες συζητήσεις με τους δασκάλους.

Αλεξάνδρα Βελάνη, δασκάλα, από την Ελλάδα

Τί κάνουν τα «Κέντρα Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων» για τα παιδιά πρόσφυγες που δεν γινόταν πριν;

Οι ψυχοκοινωνικές δραστηριότητες, η εξειδικευμένη υποστήριξη ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες των παιδιών καθώς και μια ποικιλία εκπαιδευτικών δραστηριοτήτων που προσφέρει το Κέντρο οδηγούν σε εξαιρετικά αποτελέσματα όσον αφορά την πρόσβαση σε εκπαιδευτικές υπηρεσίες, τυπικές και μη. Επιπλέον, η συμμετοχή των γονέων μέσω των συναντήσεών τους με εμάς τους εκπαιδευτικούς αλλά και δραστηριοτήτων που έχουν σχεδιαστεί για να συμπεριλάβουν τους γονείς στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία συμβάλλουν σε μια πιο ολοκληρωμένη προσέγγιση.

Υπάρχει κάποιο παιδί που θα παρουσιάζατε ως παράδειγμα επειδή έχει ανταποκριθεί καλά στη διδασκαλία που πραγματοποιείται στο Κέντρο;

Θα αναφέρω ένα 12χρονο αγόρι που καταφέραμε να προσεγγίσουμε μέσα από την τέχνη, για την ακρίβεια μέσα από τα μαθήματα κιθάρας που γίνονται στο Κέντρο μας. Ο μαθητής μας που είχε περιορισμένη σχολική εμπειρία και στενό κοινωνικό δίκτυο, κατάφερε να ενταχθεί έτσι ομαλότερα στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία και άρχισε να συναναστρέφεται με τους συνομηλίκους του. Τώρα, παρακολουθεί τακτικά τα μαθήματά μας και περνά δημιουργικό χρόνο με τους φίλους του.

*Το πρόγραμμα «Όλα τα παιδιά στην Εκπαίδευση» υλοποιείται από το SolidarityNow με στήριξη και χρηματοδότηση της UNICEF Greece.

Από το σκοτάδι της άγνοιας στο φως της γνώσης – Αφιέρωμα: «Πριν χτυπήσει το κουδούνι»


Ανταπόκριση από το «Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων» του SolidarityNow στην ανοιχτή δομή φιλοξενίας προσφύγων και αιτούντων άσυλο στη Δράμα.

Shevin Ali, 16 χρονών από τη Συρία (Κουρδικής καταγωγής)

Τί έχεις μάθει μέχρι τώρα στο «Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων»;

Έχω μάθει ελληνικά και αγγλικά, που μέχρι να έρθω στο Κέντρο δεν ήξερα καθόλου. Τώρα ξέρω να γράφω και να διαβάζω!

Υπάρχει μια αγαπημένη σου στιγμή στο Κέντρο;
Μου αρέσουν πολύ οι γλώσσες και το γεγονός ότι πλέον έχω την ευκαιρία να τις μάθω. Μου αρέσει που μου δίνεται η ευκαιρία να ζωγραφίζω και να χρησιμοποιώ τη ζωγραφική στα μαθήματα, που μου αρέσει τόσο πολύ! Μέσα από τις δράσεις που γίνονται στο Κέντρο έμαθα να έχω αυτοπεποίθηση, θάρρος και να αποφασίζω εγώ για μένα.

Ali Ali, πατέρας της Shevin, Συρία (Κουρδικής καταγωγής)

Υπάρχει κάποια αλλαγή που έχετε παρατηρήσει στο/α παιδι/ά σας από τότε που άρχισε/αν τα μαθήματα στο Κέντρο;
Τα παιδιά μου μπορούν να μεταφράσουν, να διαβάσουν και να εξηγήσουν τα πάντα σε μένα και αυτό είναι κάτι που δεν μπορούσαν να κάνουν πριν!

Πώς πιστεύετε ότι το Κέντρο θα βοηθήσει το παιδί σας να παραμείνει στο σχολείο και να τα πάει καλά ακαδημαϊκά;

Οι δάσκαλοι υποστηρίζουν τα παιδιά και επιμένουν να πάνε σχολείο. Αυτό είναι πολύ σημαντικό, δηλαδή να κατανοήσουν τα παιδιά πόσο σημαντική είναι η εκπαίδευση και πόσο θα τα βοηθήσει να χτίσουν το μέλλον τους. Μέσω της εκπαίδευσης θα μπορέσουν να περάσουν από το σκοτάδι της άγνοιας στο φως της γνώσης.

Ελπίδα Κρητικού, δασκάλα από την Ελλάδα

Τί κάνουν τα «Κέντρα Εκπαίδευσης & Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων» για τα παιδιά πρόσφυγες που δεν γινόταν πριν;

Μέσω του προγράμματος «Όλα τα Παιδιά στην Εκπαίδευση», στο πλαίσιο του οποίου λειτουργούν τα «Κέντρα Εκπαίδευσης και Δημιουργικών Δραστηριοτήτων» του SolidarityNow, έχει δημιουργηθεί μια καλή και άρρηκτη σχέση μεταξύ της τυπικής και της μη τυπικής εκπαίδευσης. Έχει τεθεί πλέον η βάση ώστε τα παιδιά να αντιληφθούν την εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία ως ενιαία και έτσι να προχωρήσουν προς την εκπλήρωση των μαθησιακών τους στόχων. Η σταθερή και απρόσκοπτη συνεργασία (τυπικής και μη εκπαίδευσης) με την ψυχοκοινωνική υπηρεσία είναι επίσης το κατάλληλο πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο οι μαθητές μας αντιλαμβάνονται τον ρόλο τους στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία.

Υπάρχει κάποιο παιδί που θα παρουσιάζατε ως παράδειγμα επειδή έχει ανταποκριθεί καλά στη διδασκαλία που πραγματοποιείται στο Κέντρο;

Θα αναφέρω την 11χρονη Zahra από το Ιράκ που μέσα από τα μαθήματα και τις δραστηριότητες που προσφέρουμε, έμαθε πολύ καλά την ελληνική γλώσσα (πολλές φορές γίνεται η διερμηνέας μεταξύ των δασκάλων και των συμμαθητών της) και προχωρά στην τυπική εκπαίδευση. Παράλληλα, έχει εξελιχθεί ψυχοκοινωνικά σε μεγάλο βαθμό και εξοικειώθηκε με την ομαδική εργασία, δεξιότητα που δεν είχε καλλιεργήσει πριν ξεκινήσει να παρακολουθεί τα μαθήματά μας στο Κέντρο.
