In this report you will follow the task carried out at the Indigenous Cultural and Training Centre (CCFI), an initiative of the Fraternity – International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF), at the Roraima Humanitarian Mission, referring to the months of November and December 2022. A service that goes beyond training, socio-cultural and digital inclusion, a service that redefines and rescues the dignity, respect and harmony of indigenous peoples that transcend borders.
In the context of Training, during the last two months of 2022, the CCFI hosted the Continuing Training Program for Development (PFCD), which trained Venezuelan indigenous migrants representing four ethnic groups. During the period, two courses were developed: Individual Microentrepreneur, carried out in partnership with the Federal Institute of Education and Technology of Roraima (IFRR); and Digital Inclusion, carried out in conjunction with the CCI – Training and Internalization Center from the Welcoming Operation and the Federal University of Roraima (UFRR).
The following workshops were part of the Program: Financial Education for Migrants and Refugees carried out by a humanitarian member from the Fraternity – Humanitarian Federation (FIHF), multiplier trained by the Central Bank of Brazil, with training and experience in the administrative and financial area; in the Entrepreneurship area, the Sewing workshop and maintenance of Overlock machines based on the joint work of the Fraternity – Humanitarian Federation (FIHF) with the Cooperative of Solidarity Enterprises of Boa Vista; as well as the Clay Pots 2 workshop in partnership with UFRR.
Within the scope of socioeconomic inclusion, CCFI actively participated in a workshop held in Boa Vista-RR to increase networking with local companies and disseminate good practices in the insertion of indigenous people in the labor market. The Centre also carried out social assistance services for refugees, as well as providing follow-up services and guidance for indigenous entrepreneurs.
When it comes to strengthening indigenous culture and entrepreneurship, the CCFI held two important thematic intercultural fairs this two months, accompanied the participation of indigenous people in the IntegraArte Fair, as well as provided support to the School of Music Without Borders Project, of the Association of Indigenous Migrants Roraimö (AMIR).
The Fraternity – Humanitarian Federation (FIHF) initiative to unite efforts through partnerships with other institutions, added to the technical knowledge of humanitarian members applied in the Roraima Humanitarian Mission, produced surprising and motivating results for indigenous migrants and Venezuelan refugees, eager for possibilities to renew their expectations for the future and move forward with their lives.
