About this project

Kathrin Dischereit from Kiron Open Higher Education gGmbH is responsible for this project
At Kiron, we believe sustainable, equitable solutions—anchored in education and employment—are key to overcoming today’s challenges. Our programs equip refugees with the skills they need to thrive, bridging the gap between talent and opportunity.

We are raising €50,000 to expand our educational resources, mentorship and upskilling programs. With your support, we can help displaced individuals rebuild their lives through education and meaningful career opportunities.


Why Now?
This year, misconceptions about refugees have grown. A recent survey shows that over 47% of people in Germany feel the government is doing too much to support them. This only widens the gap, leaving newcomers further from integration and the chance to contribute as equal members of society.

Becoming a refugee is not a choice people simply make.
People flee their homes to seek safety. For. Their. Lives.

We believe refugees can be supported to gain skills and rebuild their lives -- connecting talent with opportunity.
Stories of learners like Raoul, Zahir and Halyna show the power of education in transforming futures.


Why Your Support Matters
Social responsibility is more than a choice; it is vital for building a more inclusive, innovative, and resilient society. Through Kiron’s programs, refugees acquire the essential skills for the labor market, turning potential into meaningful contributions. By supporting the Season of Skills campaign, you’ll directly impact projects like THRIVE, which offers female refugees with vocational training on in-demand digital fields, leading them toward independence.

Do you represent an organization?
According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, 81% of people expect companies to act for the greater good. By contributing to Season of Skills, your organization can demonstrate a commitment to addressing one of the most critical issues of our time. Every donation will help expand access to transformative educational programs for refugees, enabling them to integrate, thrive, and contribute to society.

Together, we can reshape the narrative of skepticism and fear, offering hope and opportunity to those who need it most. With your support, we can make a lasting impact—because education changes everything.
