Fedasil Gent Boot is one of the federal reception centres that has been providing shelter to around 250 applicants for international protection since 2020. They are involved in the CESSMIR master's thesis atelier “Nachtvlucht” (Night Flight), a collaboration between supervisors from various study programmes, master's thesis students and social partners. Together, we are trying to gain more insight into sleep (problems) among people living in collective reception centres.
