SPEAK

SPEAK is a social tech startup that connects migrants, refugees and locals through a language and culture exchange program, helping them to feel integrated in the city where they have moved to.

Through these events participants learn from each other, explore common interests and make new friends. In this way they break down barriers and tackle prejudice in their cities. The aim is to diminish cultural incomprehension, stereotypes, language barriers and ignorance as all these can lead to xenophobia, unemployment, criminality and many others social problems.

SPEAK’s mission is to integrate citizens by valuing their diversity and by creating mutual support.

• Leadership – they want to keep leading the way on how to solve social integration.
• Purpose – they believe in diversity and in the ability to change the world!
• Accountability – they never forget their individual roles and SPEAK’s goals.
