This year was another tough one and we seem to live in a new normal made of polycrisis. In this context, we find it even more important to see how many of us are actually and still working towards creating a better world. This gives us hope, inspiration and motivation to keep on doing what we are doing. 💚 Therefore, we would love to thank some of the many amazing people, organizations and businesses that are doing outstanding work and have supported mimycri in one way or another on our journey. You are amazing, we see you and we applaud you for what you do! Startnext Impact Hub Berlin Impact Hub Vienna Kultur- und Kreativpilot*innen Deutschland ANKAA Project Offene Arme e.V startsocial e.V.

Info
At mimycri, refugees and locals work together in Berlin: the international team makes high-quality bags from broken dinghies, which are left lying on Greek beaches after the crossing from Turkey. The non-profit association creates jobs and focuses on the "with" and not the "for": as a counterpoint to the currently increasingly critical perception of migration and integration, mimycri emphasizes common ground. Through creating a product out of historical material, mimycri stimulates discussions and interaction. mimycri helps to gain new perspectives: refugees become friends and colleagues, plastic waste is turned into a high-quality product, and buyers get to be ambassadors. Through its consistently pursued sustainability focus - socially, ecologically, economically - mimycri exemplifies how an inclusive future could look like.

💚 OUR NEW DESIGNS ARE HERE 💚 We are excited to announce that we have added two new bags to our online store. With each bag, we are able to repurpose more discarded material and offer more job opportunities to people who have experienced forced migration. Our designs are not just bags. They tell stories of a more inclusive society and of a circular sustainable economy. With each purchase, you become a part of our mission. Together, we are making a difference and proving that when we are united, we can achieve anything. #weareone You can purchase your mimycri bag on our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5sgb4hA #mimycri #circulareconomy #socialbusiness #socialimpact #fairfashion #upcycling #upcycled #recycled #sustainability #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #ankaaproject #reused #productdesign #bag #greenfashion #fairfashion #handmade #migration #refugees #refugeestories #cocreation #ciruclardesign #designwithpurpose #collaboration
