SINGA Deutschland was founded in 2016 to create meaningful connections between newcomers and locals and shift the paradigm of migration.
Today we have devoted our work to building impactful, ground-breaking, and sustainable solutions for inclusive societies and innovative economies. To achieve this goal, we create spaces for participative co-learning experiences. Therefore, we use design thinking methods and an eye-level communication approach, focusing on meaningful, joyous, and gamified encounters, continuous evaluation, and improvement.

Our activities are taking place all over Germany. At the same time, we support organizations and initiatives on an international level by implementing innovative projects that lead toward an inclusive society.
How we make it happen
In the awareness that migration is experienced differently, we foster inclusive environments in which participation, appreciation and empathy contribute to everyone experiencing belonging and agency.
Our vision
SINGA Deutschland builds impactful, ground-breaking, and sustainable solutions for inclusive societies and innovative economies.
Our values
SINGA is a global movement
The first SINGA organization was founded 2012 in Paris. Since then SINGA France has successfully established an international network of engaged people.

Today local SINGA organizations are based in 7 countries. Besides Berlin, SINGA in Germany has a presence in Stuttgart, Bochum and Karlsruhe.

All local organizations share common values but are tailoring their work according to local needs.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN


Today, 80 million people (1% of the world’s population) live in exile (UNHCR). This number will rise to 300 million by 2050 (UN), with the acceleration of global warming and the political and economic unrest in certain countries. Europe plays a significant role in welcoming these populations but struggles to create solutions that truly foster the inclusion of newcomers.


The word “migrant” often conjures an image of a shapeless, precarious, and dangerous figure without any individuality. This biased perception triggers debates around national security and polarised societies, creating a “us” versus “them” narrative. A pointless concept, as Professor Otto Scharmer (MIT), highlights: this idea of “us” can fluctuate and expand to include more and more profiles as time goes by.


We refuse to see migration uniquely as a humanitarian or security issue. We must quickly and radically change how society at large approaches migration: it is a great opportunity to meet new people, and give meaning to our lives. It provides economic opportunities, limitless knowledge, and permanent cultural enrichment.


What if the world was more reactive to environmental and social change? What if each citizen of the world was no longer limited by his/her nationality, but could thrive with their own plural and dynamic identity? What if we could benefit from others’ experiences, knowledge, and skills?
