About Connect2Us

Connect2Us is a social non-profit foundation founded in 2016 as a digital storytelling environment. The foundation encourages individuals to explore their interactions with each other on a deeper level through sharing perspectives. On the website Connect2Us.eu, we share real-life stories of everyday situations that both migrants and locals experience. The stories are followed up with suggestions on how to bridge the gap created by the misunderstanding.
