Our Vision and Mission

We believe that peace, dignity and social justice are universal human goals, and therefore, the challenges of integration should be met through an ongoing and joint effort. Since 2015, ECHO100PLUS has been committed to our societal responsibilities by engaging citizens from all over the globe to provide humanitarian aid to refugees arriving in Greece. Whereas in the past, our operations included emergency response in camps, today our primary focus is facilitating the integration process by helping displaced people develop new perspectives and skills so they may live an independent life. Our ECHO HUB Athens is a one-stop facility for adults who wish to strengthen their agency and prepare for a future beyond the camps. Our space gives access to professional staff, an IT-lab, a library, music- and community rooms. Our programs include certified language and computer classes, individual career planning and CV-writing workshops, certified vocational training and recreational activities.
