De Voorkamer is a new domestic environment for asylum seekers and locals to meet, with the aim of helping residents of asylum seekers centres to integrate in the local society. De Voorkamer allows participants to work on an assignment that fits them, that is meaningful to them and stimulates independence and personal integration. An asylum seekers center functions as a total institution in which the residents have no real work opportunity. De Voorkamer allows them to demonstrate their skills and talents and to collaborate with local professionals.
