Open Cultural Center

Migracode is a European cooperation by various Non-Profit Organisations that promotes labour integration and social inclusion of youth refugees and migrants. By first supporting them with the development of advanced programming skills, the project then connects these groups to the labour market and therewith supports their long-term integration.

In our Cultural Center in the heart of Barcelona we offer a wide range of free language classes for members of our organisation (membership is only 10 euros a month). While for instance the Spanish classes are given by locals, many of the other classes are given by refugees or migrants who have arrived in Barcelona.

The book “My Friend!” is a project by Open Cultural Center that was created in the refugee camp of Cherso, to the north of Thessaloniki. With the words and drawings by children in the refugee camp, it explains the journey of refugees to arrive in Greece.

We have managed several Cultural Centers throughout Greece. First we had centers in Idomeni, Cherso and Sounio, but currently we are working in Polikastro, in the North of Greece.
