Programmes

Six tracks, one caseworker per student

Every programme is six to eighteen months long, with a defined exit goal and a follow-up review at month three and month twelve.

We do not run drop-in sessions. People who come through the door at Acharnon 142 are matched to one of six structured programmes within their first two appointments. Each track has measurable milestones, a named lead, and a referral path into the next stage of life — a B1 certificate, a contract job, an asylum interview, a school placement.

  1. 01

    Language School

    Greek and English from A0 to B2, evening and Saturday schedules, OPA-aligned curriculum ending in official KPG or Cambridge certification.

  2. 02

    Vocational Bridge

    Three intakes a year, twenty-four people per cohort, ending in a paid six-month placement with one of 38 employer partners.

    Asylum, family reunification, work permits, and tenancy disputes, with three solicitors present each clinic day and fourteen volunteer lawyers on rota.
