Stories of welcome

In order to paint a clearer picture of what this work looks like on the ground, and the impact it is having, we worked together to produce the following Stories of Welcome. We hope they will inspire you to get involved!

Our vision

Across the globe, the international welcoming movement is growing rapidly. Our collective success is thanks to the incredible dedication and innovation of our members. Together, we are creating a thriving community of practice in which each member can share their knowledge and experience, and find support.

Our impact

Here are some stories of this impact from our international members. They each reflect on the relationships they have built internationally, as well as within their own countries.
