19 octobre 2022 – AMA organise une conférence-débat « Migrer, toute une histoire »

  • La question des migrants est au cœur de l’actualité. Les personnes migrantes, arrivées sur notre territoire, portent la trace d’événements douloureux, qui leur semblent parfois difficilement surmontables. Et pourtant, elles vont devoir, souvent sans repères, mettre toute leur énergie pour se reconstruire, s’intégrer et contribuer au bien vivre ensemble. Elles y arrivent, le plus souvent avec l’aide du monde associatif. L’éclairage du Centre Primo Lévi, association de référence spécifiquement dédiée au soin et au soutien des personnes victimes de la torture et de la violence politique exilées en France, va nous aider à mieux comprendre le parcours des migrants et les clés pour une intégration réussie. 

Dans un souci de bonne organisation, merci de confirmer votre présence

Mars 2022 – Aide aux ukrainiens

La guerre en Ukraine nous rappelle cruellement à quel point un homme, une femme, une famille
peut se retrouver du jour au lendemain sur les routes pour fuir l’innommable. L’élan de
solidarité, sans précédent, que nous constatons apporte un peu de baume au coeur dans cette
période tourmentée.

AMA s’inscrit bien sûr dans ce mouvement et tente d’apporter sa pierre à l’élan de solidarité
envers le peuple ukrainien, tout en poursuivant sa tâche auprès de tous ceux qui sont réfugiés,
quelle que soient leur provenance géographique.

Seule association dont l’objet social est spécifiquement l’accueil et l’accompagnement des
migrants à Asnières, AMA s’est mobilisée depuis mars 2022 avec le Groupe Ukraine Asnières,
qui réunit notre association, le Centre Paroissial Asnières Centre, la mairie d’Asnières, l’Etape,
le Secours Catholique, la Conférence Saint-Vincent de Paul. Une famille ukrainienne a été logée
entre mars et septembre 2022 dans les locaux de la paroisse à Saint Daniel puis dans un appartement gérée par AMA. AMA a pris en charge l’accompagnement de la famille afin de les aider à vivre au mieux ces moments tellement difficiles.
AMA a centralisé également une collecte pour faire face aux besoins urgents des migrants ukrainiens de notre ville et des environs. 

February 1, 2021 – A new family accommodated 

The search for accommodation for a migrant family constitutes the most difficult part of our mission. At the start of 2021, it is with great joy that we have completed a beautiful project with a new family that AMA will support  

The emotion was great for this family when the mother understood that the project was going to succeed and that she could project herself into a new life where AMA will of course commit to help her and her daughters to integrate in the French society

In France since 4 years, the mother obtained refugee status. They live in Asnières in a CADA (Reception Center for Asylum Seekers), where all three share the same room.

The support of our new partner, FREO, has been invaluable to us. By agreeing to stand surety for the payment of the rent, FREO has made it possible to remove one of the obstacles to the rental of accommodation by a family whose income is necessarily modest.

An emergency need : furnish the apartment
Their move to the Villeneuve La Garenne apartment is planned before mid-February. As the apartment is not furnished, we are urgently appealing for your help and generosity. Do not hesitate to talk about it around you!

You can also help us by making a donation that will allow us to buy the necessary for their move. Such a donation is deductible for income tax.

Lucie Lucas sponsor of AMA 

During this period of wishes, Lucie Lucas, model and actress recognized, in particular for the main role she has occupied since 2010 in the television series Clem, publicly announces her support for our association.

Committed to AMA from day one, she played a key role in its creation by allowing it to welcome a first family of migrants.

Sponsor of AMA, also a member of its board of directors since the end of 2019, she tells us about the reasons for her support for the cause of migrants and her attachment to AMA. A support that she decided to make public by broadcasting an interview on the subject to her great community of “followers” ​​on Instagram and Facebook.

 

A GodMother to support AMA 

On the occasion of International Migrants Day on December 18, 2019, a French personality sensitive to our cause becomes the godmother of the AMA association and member of the board of directors.

November 26, 2018 – AMA organizes the conference Europe and the challenge of migration 

Full house at center 72 for the conference organized and hosted by AMA on the theme of Europe facing the migratory challenge
 
At Center 72 in Bois Colombes, AMA organized a conference on Monday 26 November which brought together 120 people, students, active and retired people on the theme of Europe in the face of the migratory challenge. 
 
A constructive and lively debate to advance ideas against approximations, overbidding of all kinds, fantasies and fears, a debate to combat the crisis of confidence and the crisis of solidarity that are shaking Europe. 
 
Yves Bertoncini, President of the European Movement France and Claire Rodier, Director of the GISTI (Information and Support Group for Immigrants) intervened to talk about the issues and draw up solutions likely to meet the existing challenges. How can we better manage rising and increasingly diversified migratory flows, better distribute reception between the different countries, find solutions to meet the requirements of integration? An identity challenge for a Europe in demographic decline that requires a lot of pedagogy.

May 9, 2019 – AMA regrets the departure of the 52 migrants housed in the Kindergarten Republic of Asnières

 

52 migrants in great precariousness, housed in the Emergency Accommodation Center (CHU) of the Republic school since the beginning of March 2019 had to leave Asnières on May 24. AMA, which has mobilized on a humanitarian level since the arrival of the migrants, regrets this decision which seems premature to it, against to their proper integration in France, in particular for the 7 pregnant women due to give birth in the coming weeks. 12 associations including AMA, signatories of a letter sent on May 9 to the Town Hall, claimed their worried about the possible departure of migrants, without having received an answer.

Kindergarten Republic Emergency Accommodation Center (CHU)

Since the beginning of March, the République d'Asnières kindergarten, a disused school, had been requisitioned by the prefecture of 92 to accommodate migrants, sent by the SIAO (Integrated Reception and Orientation Services) of 93, the management of the accommodation being entrusted to the Association Hôtel Social 93.

The decision to send the 52 migrants from the Kindergarten Republic was taken by the prefecture 92 in agreement with the town hall of Asnières. The Hôtel Social 93 Association, in charge of the management of the CHU, had to hastily organize the rehousing of the 52 people accommodated and gave its recommendations to the Integrated Reception and Orientation Service 93 (SIAO SAMU social).

November 27, 2018 – Migrants and Refugees, a book by Claire Rodier

The arrival of large numbers of refugees and migrants in Europe, after an exhausting journey, the many deaths in the Mediterranean, including the highly publicized death of little Aylan Kurdi in September 2015, have often moved and “jostling” the European population. However, after the first surges of compassion and solidarity, concerns and reluctance are expressed, and many questions emerge: what is the difference between refugees and migrants? How many are they in proportion to the European population? Why this sudden influx and will it stop? Won't it encourage terrorism? Do France and Europe have the capacity to accommodate this influx of migrants, given the economic crisis? Are the walls useful? Should the Schengen area be abolished? What is a hotspot? How much does border surveillance cost? Wouldn't it be better to help them stay at home? It is to respond without taboo to these legitimate questions, and many others, that this little book was designed. Presented in the form of questions and answers, it helps to understand what is at stake for our societies, our vision of the world and our political choices in the face of the destiny of migrants.
