Share Network

At Share Network, we are dedicated to fostering connections and engagement with local European communities and stakeholders involved in refugee and migrant inclusion. Our focus areas include refugee resettlement, complementary pathways of admission, refugee sponsorship, and relocation. Founded in March 2012 by ICMC Europe, Share Network supports regions, cities, towns, and rural communities committed to welcoming refugees and migrants. Our mission has evolved to encompass approaches that benefit all newcomers, including refugees, asylum seekers, labour migrants, unaccompanied minors, and victims of trafficking. We collaborate closely with communities, providing training and capacity-building, particularly in smaller and rural areas with populations under 150,000. Our engagement extends to a diverse range of stakeholders at the European, national, and local levels, including refugees, migrants, and their associations. Together, we coordinate best practice exchanges, conduct research, and amplify the voices of local actors and communities. Our work is grounded in providing a robust evidence base for integration practices and outcomes at the local level, ensuring that all newcomers have the opportunity to thrive.
