Akinda is a non-profit organization that works to help children and young people in difficult circumstances. One of the organization’s core concerns is to support children and young people who suffer from child endangerment or other types of family difficulties. Akinda offers, in addition to various support services, an exchange meeting for guardians and patrons.
The exchange meeting, which is called a “Jour fixe” provides a platform for guardians and patrons to share their experiences, challenges and questions. The Jour fixe takes place regularly and is free of charge. Participation is voluntary, but highly recommended, as it helps guardians and patrons to better fulfill their duties. The exchange with other guardians and patrons is an important part of the meeting, as it offers the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others and to gather new ideas.
The aim of the Jour fixe is to support and encourage guardians and patrons in their important work. The organization recognizes that this task can often be very demanding and emotionally stressful. By sharing with others, guardians and patrons can find the inspiration and support they need to best fulfill their role as supporters and advocates.
