Second Tree is a community-led, volunteer-run, grassroots NGO working with refugees in the Epirus region, Northern Greece. We have a team of 20 people on the ground, including qualified volunteers from the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) of the European Commission. Our mission is to change the way refugees are perceived by modeling an approach to community engagement that strengthens agency and enables each individual to reach their true potential. We aim to improve the lives of refugees by creating a society where they are seen as unique human beings first and foremost – with their own history, skills, interests and needs – and not just as bearers of a ‘refugee’ identity. Through our projects, we give refugees the opportunity to develop communication skills in a social environment where they can regain their agency and build a new life in Europe. We currently run three main projects targeted to young people – the Youth Wellbeing project, the YouShaped project and the Adult Education project. These projects provide educational and integration activities in the city of Ioannina, and in the camps of Katsikas and Agia Eleni, reaching 3,000 people every week, both refugees and locals. All projects are led by volunteers between the ages of 20–30. Our Youth Wellbeing Project provides 65 children aged 8-16 with a space to develop a sense of belonging and key social, emotional and cognitive skills that facilitate their integration socially and academically. Modelled on the international Scouting movement, our project consists of different modules lasting 8 weeks each. While the topic and content of each module is shaped by the input of a group of rotating volunteers (e.g. Geography, Greek Culture, Mindfulness etc.), the core activities stay the same: weekly English and Greek classes, workshops that reinforce learning outcomes in creative and interactive ways, and excursions that take children out of the camp and help them develop a sense of belonging and familiarity with their new community. Our YouShaped project provides 12 children aged 13-16 with a class that increases student’s self-confidence and public speaking skills by debating and discussing self chosen topics in a group of peers. After completion, the young adults are encouraged to continue their education in our Adult Education classes. Our Adult Education Project is tailored to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and offers students aged 15+ with the opportunity to gain literacy, practical language and communication skills in English and Greek, as well as prepare for official language certification that strengthens their socio-economic integration. Over half of the 81 students that are enrolled in our Adult Education Project are aged 15–30. The combination of these three projects supports young students in their transition into adulthood by developing the knowledge and the social, emotional and cognitive skills they need to become active European citizens.
