SOCIAL KITCHEN “THE OTHER HUMAN”

The idea of Society Kitchen “The Other Human” Free Food For All is an action of solidarity where people come together to make food for the afflicted. Run and funded by volunteers, including people who are unemployed or homeless, the food is prepared in a public space, and while they wait for it to be cooked, they communicate with one another. The initiative also holds weekly classes for children who are dropping out of school, and runs a theatre group that provides art therapy.

Fenix – Humanitarian Legal Aid

Legal Empowerment
On Lesvos and in Athens, we support individuals navigating asylum procedures with a holistic, human-centred approach. Our clients face many obstacles in accessing, and violations of, their rights. Viewing our clients as more than just legal cases, we address their diverse needs with legal and protection specialists, using trauma-informed care. On Lesvos, we offer essential legal information and counsel inside the refugee camp, assisting over 1300 people this year. In Athens, our attorneys offer full legal representation throughout the entire asylum process.

Structural Change
We use the information we get from our clients and from being based at the frontline of the EU borders to pursue a range of advocacy efforts, from raising awareness to communications with relevant stakeholders, and from seeking interventions from European Courts to working with people who seek asylum on publications.
