Take a look behind the scenes at the Ikenhiem transfer location

We would like to invite you to take a look behind the scenes at the Ikenhiem transit location on Saturday, February 14. This location is intended for status holders.

They are entitled to (social housing), but are still staying in an asylum seekers' center because there is not enough housing available. People can live temporarily in a transit location. After that, they are supposed to move to their homes in various municipalities in Fryslân.
