Cambiamos la narrativa sobre los refugiados

Second Tree trabaja para cambiar la manera en que la sociedad percibe a los refugiados, y la manera en que los refugiados se perciben a sí mismos y a la sociedad.  

Nuestro trabajo se basa en combatir los estereotipos que presentan a los refugiados como villanos, héroes, o víctimas – y promueve la realidad de que los refugiados son simplemente PERSONAS.

Aplicamos nuestro modelo a todas nuestras actividades:

A través de un liderazgo comprometido y una serie de cursos que cuestionan la percepción de los refugiados como víctimas.

Con Refugiados

Nuestras clases de idiomas, programa de bienestar juvenil, y proyectos de integración sacan a los refugiados de los campos para que conozcan mejor la vida local.

Somos Second Tree

Second Tree es una ONG de ayuda humanitaria dirigida por voluntarios que trabaja con refugiados en el norte de Grecia. 

Nuestro trabajo se basa en un valor básico: tratar a los refugiados como las personas que son y luchar en contra de los estereotipos que los victimizan o idealizan.

  • 📢 London-based theatre company @phosphorostheatre is a platform for the migration experience – bringing the challenges faced by refugees in the UK to public attention. The shows that Phosphoros produce allow actors to reclaim their own stories, breaking away from the bias & hostility that often dominate newspaper headlines. ⁠
⁠
This Spring, Phosphoros Theatre is starting an exciting new project! Tender (2024) will see a cast of refugee actors take centre stage, bringing their audience on journeys of financial & social struggles through the lens of young people with a loud determination to make a better future!⁠
⁠
Tender is the first production where the main cast began their acting journey through Phosphoros’s Young Company. The Young Company youth project was set up for refugee actors to learn creative skills & use storytelling for shared feelings of belonging.👏⁠
⁠
Travelling to Derby, London and Manchester, Tender’s tour will include workshops for young refugees! ⁠

  • In 1 hour, we will speak at Harvard Law School to tell Fatmata's story. Abu Bakar will be there with his testimony from Skopje, as well as Глигор Ќато, who immediately offered to represent Abu pro bono. The fact that the European Parliament, OSCE, the Pope, and now even the most important university in the world takes an interest in what happened to Fatmata shows that not all injustices are just forgotten, that in our unforgiving world, there is still a flicker of hope, that our Fatmata is gone but she is still leaving a mark.⁠

  • 🌳 Meet Rachel, the former Communications & Fundraising mastermind at Second Tree & supreme crafter! She first volunteered with us in 2019 & has since returned several times & supported us remotely 🫂⁠
⁠
As so often happens at Second Tree, where work, memories & the common belief that #RefugeesArePeople knit people tightly together, she has gained long-lasting friends.⁠
⁠
One of those friends is Iraklis! He owns @thimomenoportraito, a café that has given generations of Second Tree volunteers a second home where they can work, socialise, & organise community events. While coming back to visit Second Tree last month, Rachel gifted a handmade tribute of @thimomenoportraito to its owner ​🖼️⁠
⁠
You can join our community too! Simply reach out to volunteer, support us remotely, or fundraise from home. We look forward to hearing from you!⁠ ⁠

  • After Fatmata was shot & killed by a policeman near the Greek border in North Macedonia, her husband, Abu Bakar, called us, “They shot my wife. I’m completely alone here; please come”. The next day, we were with him. ⁠
⁠
Second Tree has always been there for people in the refugee camps we work in, & we never abandon people. Yet, this call was unlike any we'd received before.⁠
⁠
Of stories of death & refugees, we unfortunately know many. But this was the first time we heard of a person, a 23-year-old woman, being shot & killed by a policeman for crossing a border. While supporting Abu & following Fatmata’s story over the past year, connecting with people helping in any way they can, it's become clear that if Abu hadn’t stayed to seek justice for his wife in North Macedonia, Fatmata’s story would probably have been lost. ⁠
⁠
Maybe Fatmata’s story happened before, but those stories went unheard. ⁠
⁠
On Tuesday, we will stand beside Abu in the Skopje Criminal Court for the 11th time, seeking justice – knowing the importance of sharing these stories. ⁠
