A hair salon opened in the Asylum Center in Bogovađa

The IOM hair salon started operating in the Asylum Center in Bogovađa this August. This activity is coordinated by the IOM Serbia mobile team and supported by the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration.

By organizing such activities, migrants and refugees are enabled to be trained in practical skills. As it turned out, they were very motivated and eagerly awaited the opening of the hair salon.

Doing this type of work provides an opportunity to strengthen people’s psychosocial skills. This activity encourages the development of healthy personal resources of the beneficiaries, socializing and creativity. Many beneficiaries of the Center will learn their first hairdressing skills in the IOM hair salon.

The IOM mobile team in the Asylum Center in Bogovađa, in cooperation with the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration, will continue to regularly perform this occupation activity, while respecting all prescribed protection measures due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
