Arriving and finding their bearings
The HEKS/EPER coordination office “Flucht und Ankommen Basel-Landschaft" informs displaced people arriving from Ukraine about helpful support services, and puts them in touch with support persons, institutions and church parishes in the Canton of Basel Landschaft.
Under the "HEKS Brückenbauer:innen" (HEKS/EPER Bridge Builders) programme, intercultural mediators also advise Ukrainian families in Basel-Stadt on various aspects of in everyday family life and inform them about the local education, health and social system.
The services available under the HEKS/EPER AltuM – Age and Migration programme are also open to Ukrainian refugees 50 years and over, and offer them social interaction, as well as access to information. This helps them better learn about their new place of residence and find their bearings more easily in their new living environment.
