💼 What the programme involves
This project in question, Globalhagen Hostel and our café, café Mellemrummet are two social enterprises and examples of not-for-profit businesses which are a part of Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke/Action Aid Denmark (AADK). The profit of these to enterprises goes directly to a development project, that happens within local communities around the world. Every two years the volunteers of the cafés and hostel democratically elect a new support project run by one of the ActionAid federation platforms.
Globalhagen Hostel is part of a worldwide community located in Nørrebro, a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood near the center of Copenhagen. We currently have 150+ active volunteers between the hostel and café. Aside from generating funds, one of our missions is to have transformative experiences through sharing stories about our support projects and volunteers, and by hosting political events focusing on inequality, anti-discrimination, and climate justice. By sharing these issues, changing minds.
