How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As DUO for a job aims at being a lead actor in the field of socioprofessional integration of immigrant youth, we strongly believe DUO for a job will be able to have a strong added value in contributing in ALF belgian network, based on its intercultural and intergenerational experiences in Brussels.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Joining ALF network would enable us to get in touch with other organizations also active in inter-cultural exchanges. As DUO for a job bases its mission on other organization's work abroad (including France), we are convinced that exchange between organizations working in the same field benefits the different stakeholders.
