Imagine a world where all people on the move are seen as changemakers.
Where the knowledge and insights created by migrants are valued and utilized widely. Where movement is seen as a shared experience. And where communities of migrants and diaspora are activated as changemaking hubs.
Hello Europe aims to become the collective voice of innovative, empowering citizen solutions in the field of migration. We strive to provide a vision of the kind of work happening in Europe and around the globe, which is creating a better society for people on the move as well as for those who meet them.
With +8 years ofexperience in the migration field across Europe and Latin America, we are building systems of solutions, identifying and collaborating with changemakers for migration, influencing policy and shaping narratives.
Our framework of change is:
Go Wıde
Find, connect and promote People on the Move as changemakers and accelerate their solutions.
go deep
Select and support top social entrepreneurs as Fellows and run ecosystem accelerators to solve complex problems collaboratively.
tell the story
Bring the stories from our changemaker networks to influence public policy and the imaginations of decision-makers.
Our Partners
The challenges underlying massive migratory movements cannot be solved by a single organization, nor can a single sector on its own provide the needed solutions. This makes it imperative to operate from a multi-sectorial approach, with partners who listen, learn and work closely with one another. Each contributes specific skills and resources: funding, consulting, expert advice, networks, space, and brilliant thinking. The result is an ecosystem that enables scaling the best solutions for migration throughout Europe.
Why Partner With Us?
“We believe that people who have come to Europe in search of a new life should be given the chance to be part of the process of integrating into their new society and of finding employment in their new country. Since 2017 the Schöpflin Foundation has supported Ashoka and its Hello Europe Impact Programme.
We believe that through its programmes, Ashoka demonstrates how professional and transformative citizen solutions can work and how these ideas can be disseminated in a targeted way.
Our mutual aim is to ensure that these ideas and achievements become firmly fixed in the minds of policy-makers, including those at EU level. We share the hope that Hello Europe will create new synergies for national and EU-wide strategies that result in Europe becoming the open, participatory and inclusive community that it aspires to be. ”
“As a corporation with staff from more than 100 nations, we want to take a stance. We see a great opportunity, especially in the integration of skilled employees into the labour market, however at the moment we are lacking appropriate concepts to achieve this well in many countries across Europe. Tested solutions already exist in other countries. We are part of Hello Europe to get to know these and other concepts and to make our contribution to bringing them to Europe. We want to look beyond our borders and keep spinning the wheel, instead of reinventing it.”
