ANKAA Project Information

ANKAA Project is a not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2017, that works with communities affected by forced migration and/or unemployment. ANKAA’s hybrid model of a social enterprise connects its education programs, focused on social inclusion, with its revenue-generating activities of creating sustainable products under fair and ethical working conditions. With its holistic approach towards social inclusion ANKAA highlights the interconnection between education and employment. MISSION ANKAA Project strengthens communities affected by forced migration and/or unemployment, by offering quality programs in language learning, vocational training in tailoring, beekeeping, bike repair, as well as IT courses and cultural activities. Our programs are aimed at social inclusion and employability for decent work opportunities in Greece and in Europe. Our revenue-generating activities offer job opportunities to experienced workers and/or former ANKAA students. Our products reflect and promote sustainability for the people, the project and the planet. We create long lasting and custom-made fashion products implementing responsible production and fair trade. The project and its partners advocate for social inclusion, equal opportunities and a celebration of cultures and skills through the acknowledgement of a shared history. ANKAA Project recognizes the people for their skills, experiences, future ambitions and goals to create tools together for rebuilding lives in a dignified, sustainable and personal manner. VISION ANKAA Project believes in a world where people have equal opportunities and therefore creates equitable pathways to education and employment.
