General Information
The CCJM, located Brussels, has been created in 2006. The CCJM is the result of a work of twenty years collecting an exceptional historical heritage, from the point of view of a reflection constantly deepened and renewed over experiences lived by its founder Paul Dahan, psychoanalyst. The CCJM is an non-profit organization composed of a museum (located now in the Jewish Museum of Belgium, a library and a photo library. The Center organizes activities among professionals and other people interested in intercultural dialogue. The members of the board of directors are Paul Dahan (president) and Christophe Sokal (administrateur) and his children Maxime Dahan, Clara Dahan, Alicia Dahan (administrateur). The seat of the association is 127 rue Franz Merjay 1150, Brussels, Belgium.
Mission and Objectives

The Center has been organizing exhibitions and other events, in Belgium and all over Europe, focusing on the historical and cultural experience of the Jews of Morocco, which has been forged during two thousand of years in a particular context of multiculturalism.
We also participated to exhibitions in recent years all over the world (in Brussels, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Paris, Limoges, Rabat, Lisbon, ...) as well as to studies and conferences on the culture of Jews in Morocco and Jewish-Muslim relations addressed to a wide audience, including schools and universities. The impact of these events, among people and in the media in Belgium, Morocco, France and the Netherlands, encourage us to intensify such activities, whether in cooperation with other institutions or autonomously. For this work of awareness, illustration and interpretation, the Center has a museum, a library and a photo library. An Internet site makes it possible to visualize the collection of objects, bibliographical information and archival documents.

Main Projects / Activities

The CCJM is currently preparing at the Jewish Museum in Brussels an exhibition for minimum 2 years on the topic of "Plural Identities, the example of cohabitation of Jewish and Muslim communities in Morocco". The project is arising at a time when the question of identities in a country is strongly influenced by its multicultural components. The exhibition which will take place from May 2019 will expose the steps of life in the two large communities living in Morocco (birth, integration / ritual passage, wedding and death). The objective is to give answers to questions from the young generation especially, by creating relationship to their roots, culture, and citizenship. This project is part of a continuation of actions already undertaken by the CCJM. Our activities now extend in collaboration with the Jewish Museum of Brussels, which our Center has integrated as a permanent partner. Our Hirsch-Dahan collections will be used to continue our cultural and educational mission.

General Information

L’Aide à la Jeunesse organise une aide spécialisée sous différentes formes qui est supplétive à l’aide générale. C’est-à-dire qu’elle vient s’ajouter à l’aide générale apportée par exemple par les CPAS, qu’elle vient en plus.

Les services AMO (Actions en Milieu Ouvert) s’inscrivent dans une logique préventive, c’est-à-dire qu’au lieu de se concentrer sur les manifestations des difficultés, l’AMO s’attache à découvrir le contexte de ces manifestations afin de prévenir des problématiques comparables ou l’aggravation de telles situations. Cette aide se réalise principalement au travers de deux axes d’intervention, l’axe individuel et l’axe communautaire, dans le cadre de l’application du décret du 4 mars 1991.Des actions collectives sont également développées ponctuellement.

Cette politique de prévention a pour objectif de donner le droit à chacun de vivre dignement, de promouvoir la réinsertion du jeune dans la société, d’éviter le placement et d’éviter la judiciarisation dans la mesure du possible.

Mission and Objectives

- des entretiens individuels et familiaux à la maison, au CEMO ou ailleurs ;
- la réalisation d’un bilan de la situation et l’évaluation des difficultés ;
- la création ou la dynamisation du réseau autour du jeune ;
- l’aide apportée à la famille pour que l’enfant puisse sortir d’institution ;
- des informations sur les droits et sur les services sociaux pour que jeunes et familles puissent se défendre ;
- des interpellations et des conseils généraux aux pouvoirs politiques et administratifs pour que les choses changent.

Main Projects / Activities

- Service Jeunesse - CPAS
- Aides individuelles : L’une des missions est de recevoir tout type de demande, de l’analyser et de la traiter, voire de l’orienter. Le travail d’accompagnement individuel peut se faire au sein des bureaux du CEMO. Pour nous rendre le plus accessible possible, nous travaillons également dans différents milieux de vie du jeune : à la maison, à l’école, dans son institution, etc.

Our goal is to become a leading organization in promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation through engaging and educational experiences. And Khayam is the best place to do such, Since it is based in Brussels, as one of the most diverse cities in Europe, Khayam would actually be a beacon for diversity, being established by an Iranian, who comes from a country with its diverse cultures, languages and ethnicities.

Currently a new collective is taking over its management and would like to be again an active member of ALF in order to expand its network, and collaborate on intercultural activities including Europe and Mediterranean region. We would benefit from ALFs vast network, and would be happy to contribute to its mission and vision in bringing new narratives through more inclusive art and cultural projects. Creating Platforms for dialogue has always been in Khayam’s vision and it resembles as well in its previous activities, we would like to pursue the same and bring multiple narratives in an egalitarian setup to converse.
As part of our mission we would like to be the bridge between different communities and we believe that ALF is one of the places that could help us achieve our goal.
