Habibi.Works

Habibi.Works is an intercultural maker space and platform for education, empowerment and social encounters for refugees, greek locals and international team members. It consists of 10 different workshop spaces: Wood and Metal, MediaLab, Community Kitchen, Sewing and Creative Atelier, Bike Repair, Library, Gym and Community Garden.

Apart from being a space where people can create, learn, teach and meet the project allows those who have been stuck in this situation for years to use their time constructively. We work at eye level with people. We support them to create solutions themselves. We listen to their ideas instead of telling them what to do. We encourage them to share their abilities and expertise and to gain transferrable new skills. Habibi.Works is a living example of the values we would like to see in our societies: respect, solidarity and equality.
