Our moveurope! local groups
What is our aim?
moveurope! enables legal migration ways for refugees with a residence permit of another EU-member state. Many thousands of refugees reach the EU crossing the external border, primarily in Italy, Greece and Spain. European Law requires them to apply for asylum in one of these countries and to reside there permanently. The current EU-legislature barely enables a legal secondary migration in other EU-states. Until now, the only options would be a new asylum procedure or a life without a safe residence status.
moveurope! constitutes a way of legal migration through the visa procedure for education purposes (§ 17 German Residence Code-GRC).
As a necessary step on the way to an apprenticeship moveurope! organizes, with the help of a network of volunteers, internships (3 months) and voluntary services (12 months) for refugees. moveurope! is a project of the association migration_miteinander e.V. with its central place in Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, which was founded by young committed people in 2017.
What do we do?
- legal consultation regarding the visa procedure and necessary documents,
- individual consultation and guidance: preparation of documents, necessary administration, linguistic assistance, accompaniment during the visa procedure,
- orientation and consultation regarding the selection and search for suitable mobility possibilities,
- organization of trainings for social workers, legal advisers, refugee supporters as well as refugees themselves who are interested in the legal fundament for mobility possibilities,
- organization of events and awareness-raising campaigns
- we offer concrete mobilities for refugees in our association and in cooperation with partners in Witten and surroundings, e.g. two European Solidarity Corps (europ. voluntary service) in our office in Witten.

- Refugees, who already reside in Germany with a residence permit of another EU-member state and look for a possibility to live and work legally in Germany (so-called Dublinees)
