EMBRACE COEXISTENCE
To me, "coexistence" encompasses our shared aspiration to live in peace, regardless of our cultural and ethnic differences. With this vision, we foster an inclusive society based upon mutual respect and understanding. Taking this approach will unite us in making our society a better place for ourselves and for the next generation. Cultural differences should bring us together and enable us to learn from each other.

Our Mission
Our mission is to mobilize the international community to equip girls and women with the foundations for a better life, particularly through access to higher education
JOIN OUR TEAM Team
We believe that each team member brings a unique strength and perspective, and together we can achieve great things. We foster an open and supportive work atmosphere. Our team meetings are defined by the ongoing exchange of ideas. Few facts about us: our youngest member is 21 years old, we are spread across the cities of Kiel, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Cologne, and Emden, and together we speak seven languages. We are very excited to meet you!
Our Story
Our story began with the National Integration Award when Bjeen acknowledged that there was a lack of representation for refugee women. Since then, we have been dedicated to bringing more refugee women into the spotlight to share their experiences and inspire and encourage others.
NATIONAL INTEGRATION AWARD
Bjeen Alhassan, a committed activist, was awarded the National Integration Award in 2020. As a refugee woman, she passionately advocates for the integration of refugee women in Germany. Her remarkable efforts have earned her this prestigious recognition. Bjeen's success stands as an inspiration to others who also want to create positive change, and shows that by supporting each other, an open and diverse society is possible.
