Among the missions of ASTI is the support refugees all along their integration path. Within the project «Ma’an! Zesummen! », ASTI organises literacy courses for people who cannot read or write, classes to study the Latin alphabet for people who can read and write another alphabet, as well as intensive French language courses ensured by volunteers. Refugees who attend B1 level classes in French language can then take part in the «Connection» project which prepares them for employability and includes 14 information sessions on Luxembourg, 6 work preparation workshops and a non-paid internship of 240 hours during up to 6 months.
ASTI is about migrants and undocumented people … At the «Guichet INFO – MIGRANTS», ASTI specialists of Immigration and International Protection Law answer questions about residence and work permits as well as regarding the asylum procedure. In this way, ASTI offers a free support for the people who have obtained political status and intend to request a family reunification. Thanks to volunteers, ASTI offers a public writer service to help people write letters, fill out forms and manage the administrative procedures better. Volunteers also train integration coaches to accompany political refugees in their process of integration.
