Awareness Campaigns

The Peace Between Film Project
This documentary features three vignettes of local people (in The Netherlands, Hungary and France) developing friendships with refugees who have arrived in their towns. It is a candid view of what it means to be a neighbor, and what cross-cultural friendships may look like.

We are privileged to be a small sponsor of this film, and also to help develop the materials churches will use to open dialogue around this topic as well as to dig into what the Bible says.
Why is Refugee Connect a sponsor?

Programs in Development

We continually work with our network members to understand needs, identify gaps and build relationships with NGOs, government, businesses, educators, and associations. In this process, we work together to share resources as well as launch new programs to help the refugee youth we care for. The following are in development:
  • Business Incubator
  • Trauma Care Through the Arts
  • Alternative Housing for URM Turning 18 in Shelters
  • URM Foster Care Awareness Initiative
