We are active in both Barcelona, Spain, and Polykastro, Greece. In both places, we carry out various educational and cultural activities that support refugees and migrants with their integration while connecting local communities to migrant communities. Most of our projects are made possible with the strong support of our many, various volunteers.
“Amigo Mio” Book
OCC SPAIN & GREECE
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. Abdul, Elaf, Amar and Heva are some of the children who illustrated and explained their personal stories: their life in Syria, before and during the war, the journey to Europe, life in the camp in Greece and their dreams for the future.
ITFLOWS
OCC SPAN & GREECE
The purpose of ITFLOWS is to provide accurate predictions and adequate management solutions of migration flows in the European Union in the phases of reception, relocation, settlement and integration of migration, according to a wide range of human factors and using multiple sources of information. These insights will be provided by an evidence-based ICT enabled solution (the EUMigraTool) and precise models. OCC is a vital partner to make this large EU-funded project possible.
