Become a Buddy to create a new friendship,

Share your culture and discover Brussels in a different way !

 

The Buddy program allows a local person and a newcomer to meet so that together they can do SINGA activities and (re)discover the city of Brussels.
For 3 months, the pair commits to meeting every 15 days!

Having a buddy means sharing and learning while enjoying simple, friendly moments together. It's also a chance to expand your social network and build lasting relationships, all while dismantling prejudices together.

​

A meaningful commitment…

 

The Buddy programme helps to create an inclusive, open and caring society.

 

For new arrivals, having a buddy provides a point of reference within their host community. In particular, it offers the chance to explore the city alongside someone who knows it well and can share their top tips and practical information!

 

For local residents, the programme is a practical way to get involved in welcoming and including newcomers to Brussels and to build strong interpersonal relationships.

 

 

The programme also helps everyone find their place within the SINGA community and feel included.

For those who might be hesitant to take the plunge into SINGA activities on their own, it’s also a chance to explore them as a pair.

As a buddy, you also get the chance to take part in team-building activities with the other pairs taking part in the programme just like you!

 

 

This commitment also fosters intercultural and linguistic exchange! Buddies come from all corners of the world and speak a multitude of languages.

Some speak English or French very well, others less so, but the pairs always find a way to communicate, and this exchange is also what makes this human experience so rewarding!

 

Sharing and growing together – that’s what the Buddy programme is all about!
