Convivial is a Belgian organization operating in the civic and social sector, based in Brussels. Established in 1994 from the collaboration between a Belgian woman and a Rwandan refugee, the group focuses on supporting the integration of refugees through listening and reciprocal engagement, evolving from informal volunteer aid to a recognized association with public backing and broad support for its professional approach to refugee assistance. Since receiving formal accreditation in June 2019 as a Bureau d’Accueil pour Primo-Arrivants, Convivial has expanded its services to include all legally resident foreign-origin newcomers in Brussels, addressing the challenges of building a new life while continuing specialized activities for refugees related to their initial settlement and procedures. The organization aims to foster a multicultural, rights-respecting society that promotes equal opportunities and social, cultural, professional, and civic participation, treating diversity as a strength.
