Refugees Emancipation is a self-organized refugee project based in Potsdam. Germany

Our association is committed to ensuring that refugees will allow both professionally

and structurally access to computers and the Internet, so that the isolation mechanisms

are circumvented.
We also offer, in cooperation with our partners, advisory services for refugees in

Brandenburg and nationwide.
