Bridging Cultures: The Challenges of Belgium's Integration Process

In this episode, we delve into Belgium's inburgeringstraject, designed to help newcomers learn about local culture and language. However, recent changes, including mandatory fees of up to €360, raise concerns about accessibility and fairness. We explore the critical role of societal organizations as supportive networks for integration and discuss how they can collaborate with the government to foster inclusivity. Join us as we question what it truly means to be integrated and how we can ensure that all newcomers feel welcome and empowered in their new communities.
