Description

Τhe Multifunctional Centre is a social centre that works with a holistic approach to deliver a 360 degree range of services and support to refugees and asylum seekers to help them cope with their current situation through counselling and guidance on their way through procedures and available services.

For recognised refugees and other migrants, the MFC provide services and guidance to support them on their journey to more effectively integrate into Greek society – including obtaining the necessary registration and documentation in order to be eligible for employment and access social services, education and medical care in the Greek society. The approach of the services provided from the MFC aims to build the migrants’ resilience and empower them to reassess their individual needs and make their own choices; in order to regain their own autonomy in everyday living.

SOCIAL AREA:

The social area is one of the vital areas of the MFC. Our reception and the Hotline team assist refugees and migrants answering their questions. The Social Area is a place where refugees and migrants, apart from waiting for their appointments with one of our Services, can come and enjoy the free Wi-Fi or maybe read a book or chat with a friend without a prior appointment. In the Social Area parents can find a Children’s Corner, where together with their children they can enjoy playing and spending some quality family time. The social area includes a Play Space for kids, where parents can enjoy playing with their children and have quality family time.
