Project Coordinator & Recruitment Officer

About Habibi.Works
Habibi.Works is a solidarity-based makerspace next to the refugee camp of Katsikas in Northern Greece. We provide access to tools, knowledge, and community for people on the move, local residents, and international makers. Our work challenges the structural injustices created by European migration policies and aims to build spaces of agency, resilience, and connection. The makerspace currently includes 11 working areas.

Role Summary
