Mission and Objectives

ActiveVision brings to the front stage those who are usually pushed to the margin, the faceless and the nameless. With those who usually act on the passive side of the frame in our society.
ActiveVision was created by a group of visual and documentary artists and photojournalists, sharing the belief in the power of the visual image in creating consciousness and change, of mobilizing social changes via art.
There is a very strong inflow of refugees from Africa into Europe and the Mediterranean. the largest group comes from Darfur. Many of these refugees are youth under 18. We need to create a space for them for expression, free exchange of information, a space for public discourse. Art and media should be harnessed to the well-being and development of the refugee youth and provide them with tools and training. This will contribute to community rehabilitation and promote an essential dialogue in society.

General Information
ASSAF is comprised of seven staff members, each in charge of a specific project within the organization. Sixty volunteers dedicate their time throughout each week for the betterment of ASSAF. The organization values its partnership with other organizations that strive to accomplish comparable goals; ASSAF is a leading member of the Refugee Rights Forum and is a partner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). ASSAF is closely linked with the African Refugee Development Center, Physicians for Human Rights, Hotline for Migrant Workers, and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. The total proposed budget for 2010 is $335,814.00. The activities of ASSAF are supported by numerous foundations and donors, including, but not limited to, the UNHCR, The Samuel Sebba Charitable Trust, The New Israel Fund, The Christian Embassy, and so forth. ASSAF’s concrete projects include the Psychosocial Support Program, Refugee Youth Program, and Advocacy and Support Center.
Mission and Objectives

ASSAF believes that only by working on three levels - the individual, the community and the political - can full change for refugees and asylum seekers be achieved. ASSAF's mission is to assist those entering Israel in search of asylum, to strengthen their coping mechanisms so they can better face economic, legal, social, and emotional challenges, and to advocate for refugee rights on the basis of international law, in the aim of facilitating their humane and dignified existence. Through psychosocial and advocacy programs, ASSAF aims to provide a source of familiarity, strength, and support to the refugee community, in addition to encouraging institutional service providers to expand their services to include refugees. ASSAF’s long-term goal is to facilitate policy change; namely, the formal recognition and implementation of refugee rights and a fair asylum process by the State of Israel – an initiator and signatory of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention.

Main Projects / Activities

ASSAF’s platform includes various projects and activities that coordinate to create a holistic response to the ongoing needs of the refugees. The Psychosocial Support Program provides a supportive response to hundreds of refugees, mainly at-risk individuals and families. The goal of this project is to help the refugees regain a sense of normality in their lives and gain emotional support as they transition into Israeli culture. ASSAF has a program for unaccompanied minors and youth in the community. The Refugee Youth Program serves over a hundred young refugees, operating three days a week, five hours each day. The minors come to ASSAF where they can socialize, enjoy a hot meal, and receive support from trained staff and volunteers. At the heart of ASSAF is the Advocacy and Support Center. This Center provides refugees with employment assistance, referrals to services of partner organizations, and potential entry into ASSAF’s psychosocial programs.
