You are a carpenter? Construction fore(wo)man? Electrician?
We are looking for craftspeople with passion!
In the SKILLS FACTORY on Samos we produce humanitarian aid ourselves:
by hand. locally. sustainably. independently. honestly.
In the closed refugee camp on the Greek island of Samos there is a lack of everything. But the people who live in this misery, bring the knowledge and the experience to produce everything they need by themselves. And the fertile island of Samos supplies the necessary raw materials.
And this is where we come in.
In our workshops we work, learn and laugh together, pass on skills and knowledge, and develop innovative solutions. The products we manufacture directly improve the current living situation and alleviate humanitarian suffering. This is how we break the vicious circle of dependency.

- construction
- electricity
- metal works
- tailor workshop
- electric repair
- bike workshop

What will I be doing?
In the different departments of the project on Samos, professionals from all over the world work closely together to exchange their knowledge, to create and produce, to find innovative solutions and to learn with and from each other.
The workshop project is managed by craftspeople from the refugee community, connected through locals, facilitated by external volunteers -> You :)

The facilitation of the workshops and help to ensure smooth working days. You will have an overview on the team, their skills, the upcoming tasks, plans and external jobs, organize missing materials and ensure the connection to other actors or / and the local community.
