Children's Integreation
Shaping the future of our children
Since most of our children are born and raised in our host community with a different cultural background compared to our homeland, it becomes imperative to have a platform through which they gain cultural exchange and understanding, language support, cultural sensitivity training, community engagement, peer support groups, etc.
Our Children’s integration program is aimed at bridging the gap in cultural differences between our host community and homeland.
Youths Of Igbo Union
Igbo Union Antwerpen is consistently working toward the promotion of a cultural group consisting of youngsters aimed at exporting the norms values and traditions of Ndi Igbo.
We aim to engage the youth through programs such as mentorship, sports, and educational initiatives geared toward empowering them and preparing them for leadership roles in the future. The union provides a platform where successful Igbo individuals can serve as role models, guiding the youths in their academic and professional pursuits.
Ensuring that our youth smoothly integrate into the Belgian society is also one of our top priorities. Hence our youth program aims to help youngsters navigate the challenges of balancing their dual identities–being both Igbo and Belgian, while equipping them with the tools to engage positively with the broader Belgian society.
Cultural Preservation, Community Building, and Unity.
Ndi Igbo understands the importance of cultural preservation especially in a multicultural society like Belgium, by bringing the Igbo youths together, the union fosters an environment where the young ones can learn about and embrace our rich cultural heritage, including traditions, language, and values. Thereby ensuring that the younger generation remains connected to their roots.
By organising monthly youth gatherings, ndi Igbo aims at creating a sense of community which is vital for building strong bonds among the Igbos in the diaspora. By interacting with peers who share the same cultural background, the youths can develop a sense of pride and unity, which helps strengthen the overall Igbo community in Antwerp.
