GSBTB founder Annamaria visited Stockholm for one week of intensive meetings with Swedish civil society initiatives, social innovation projects and co-working-spaces, Syrian entrepreneurs and integration activists, and cultural institutions and foundations. The goal was to exchange experiences and ideas and see how one could strengthen the collaboration between Sweden and Germany and making connections on a pan-European level. A lot of good work are happening but is often not visible enough, properly connected or funded. Despite both countries having their own unique challenges, their “semi sane” standing in Europe regarding the questions of migration policy makes connections and exchange of knowledge extra important!
