VIBE - Vitamin B for migrants
Others
Challenge: Being a local citizen overcoming the challenge to find a home.
During interviews on the streets we found out that having connections ease the way of finding a flat. This normally happens through family members or friends who know who again know someone having an available home. In Germany we call this connection Vitamin B. We want to initiate VIBE platform where migrants can match their interests with events where they can find same minded people. Along with the event a list of local participants will show up who can be the first migrants contact to the community and ease way of integrating in the community. As soon as personal relationships are established, not only the possibility of finding a home increases, also the new social environment will make the migrants to feel home in their new settled country.
