Sofa Solution

You cannot live here, only exist.

Out of sight, out of mind. Where are the refugees from Idomeni? What happened after the eviction of one of the largest refugee camps in Europe since WWII. What is the current situation in Greece?

Dear friends,
The Sofa Solution project is finished, we have reached back to our homelands, the sofa is sold and some minds have changed.
We want to thank all the organisations and people who helped us organize the events, all those some-one-hundred drivers without whom we'd still be either dehydrated, sunburned or frozen, stuck in the middle of nowhere. So big thanks again to Epeka Slovenia, Centar E8 - Vranje, Legis, Centrul de Voluntariat Timisoara, StudentPlus Timisoara, Youth for Equality, Szubjektiv, Artemisszió Alapítvány, and, of course, System and Generation Association - S&G and Keçiören Belediyesi.
We thank again our sponsors Puskupusku, Kreit, Littlebit, and Microsoft.
We collected 250$, after indiegogo taxes 221$ went for the Building Bridges for Refugee Children kids' study support materials. It is not a lot, but it is certainly of big help and we thank our donors Kassa Small, Erin Traeger, Murat Caliskan and the anonymous passer-by-s.
We had discussions about that topic with a couple hundred people, we witnessed the change of opinion from offensive to supportive of one individual. Most people, as it turns out, are push-pull: they support the louder idea. They were highly agreeable, which gives us hope that positive media coverage could boost people's support.
Now it's time to persuade big organisations to support the kid's mental development, regardless of whether they want to stay in a country or not. Kids are kids, kids need education.
We hope you enjoyed our insta pics and the thread here.

Stay tuned for the summary film!

"Chaotic scenes recently at the Italian-French border when 200 people attempting to swim to France were turned back and deported to southern Italy."

Borders cannot avoid the exode. People leave and come to our countries for a reason.

Austria turns away more migrants at Italian border Austrian police say there has been a “creeping rise” in the number of migrants and asylum seekers attempting to cross into the country from Italy.

Read this interesting research to know in details about numbers and effects in Europe.

Number of Refugees to Europe Surges to Record 1.3 Million in 2015 The recent wave of asylum seekers to 28 EU countries, Norway and Switzerland accounts for one-in-ten asylum applications to the region since 1985.
