About us

Aiming at fusing society around the concept of ‘understanding through interaction’, WE Organization has implemented several projects and programs with (Schools, Universities, Companies, NGO’s, and Governmental Agencies).

Projects:
• WE are the Refugees: WE Organization is keen on addressing society’s most relevant themes of xenophobia and populism by connecting refugees with their hosting communities through the power of conversation. So very often stories have been told about us! With the notion “Talk with us, NOT about us”, the work of ‘WE are the Refugees is to ensure that we (the refugees) are the authors of our own narratives and that we are in charge of our stories. Through the speeches we strive to raise awareness about the Refugee-situation in Europe; seeking to foster understanding and deconstruct the misconceptions surrounding refugees by encouraging effective communication between ‘The Newcomers’ and the local communities. Via co-creation sessions & workshops, we bring together a diverse set of skills and insights on how to be and feel integrated; aspiring to make policy, practice and attitudes more Refugee-Friendly.
• WE are the Elderly: WE Organization believes in reaching out to all members of society by providing a platform for cultural exchange. WE Organization facilitates social ‘get-together’ events for and with (Dutch) elderly, aspiring to convey cultures through food, music and entertainment.
• WE are the Labels: WE Organization offers a safe & supportive space for challenging prejudice. It proposes a re-thinking of stereotypes and a search for identities beyond them. WE ARE THE LABELS is about sharing real-life stories of those who have been negatively labeled/stigmatized by society, in order to reveal the real human side of them.
• WE are the Information: Making online services/information effective and accessible for the Newcomers in order to help them find their ways in The Netherlands.
