About the Organisation
Habibi.Works is a solidarity-based makerspace and community hub located next to the refugee camp of Katsikas in Northern Greece. It provides access to tools, knowledge, and shared spaces for people on the move, local residents, and international volunteers.
Rooted in values of solidarity, mutual respect, and justice, the project fosters community, agency, and resilience in a context shaped by European migration policies.
