CONCEPT

Inspired by Venture for America, the Co-Create Fellowship trains and supports refugees and provides reliable workers for the community that host them. In this model, EU businesses sponsor refugee fellows to strengthen their professional skills and, most importantly, integrate them into the community. While waiting for asylum, refugees can apply for training and placement through the fellowship. Once accepted, refugees begin integrating into the host community and are no longer seen as refugees, but as fellows deemed skilled enough to work. The scheme includes the option of learning to become a community leader and a co-creator of a new culture.
