“Tchaï is a school, a family and a home”
– Salima, 17 years old
The project
Tchaï is a educational and psycho-social structure for young people in exile with little education. It is a space-time of respite, experimentation and discovery for these young people who cannot or no longer have access to school.
We offer group workshopsliteracy, of the multidisciplinary activities, of the job discoveries and a individual monitoring. Through these different modes of engagement, we invite the young person to settle down, to rebuild themselves and to gradually find a fulfilling and personal way of integrating into the host society.
The structure meets the school requirement.
For who ?
Tchaï is aimed at young people meeting the following criteria:
- Aged 12 to 18 years old at registration
- In exile or from Roma communities
- Dropping out of school or not attending school in Belgium
- No or little schooling in their country of origin or out of school for several years
Our monitoring continues beyond the age of majority.
We welcome young people who are already parents with their child(ren).
