The Oldest Refugee Organisation of the Netherlands
Team Convident supports the Foundation for Refugee Students UAF. We offer internships and work experience places to students who are affiliated with UAF.
The Foundation for Refugee Students UAF is an independent foundation that represents the interests of refugee students and professionals. They offer refugees opportunities to develop themselves further, educationally and professionally. That is how the foundation helps them on their way with advice, guide, financial support and deployment of a network. “We are proud of the commitment and support of Convident”, according to Maartje de Jong – programme counsellor North/East.
