The Refugio is a project by the Berlin City Mission and Sharehaus.

At Sharehaus Refugio Berlin, we have been working and living together on 5 floors in a beautiful, 100-years-old house since July 2015. We are from Syria, Somalia, England, Germany, Sweden, Afghanistan, Palestine, Turkey, Croatia and Bosnia; people who were forced to leave their homes or are in search for a new life and new communities.

We live together in a house share, and become ambassadors for other Refugios. We encourage each other in our talents and abilities, run a café, and organize events where locals and refugees get to know each other. Together we develop catering and workshops by chefs from Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. We also promote education, language courses, develop social enterprises and build networks with partner initiatives.
