SHAREK is a dedicated platform that supports and empowers new arrival cultural workers, artists, social media influencers, and individuals with inspiring stories who have immigrated to Europe. We provide a free creative space for sharing ideas, dreams, hope, and knowledge, fostering cultural bridges and connections among diverse communities.
Managed by a team of immigrant cultural workers, journalists, artists, and professional locals in Sweden and EU, SHAREK was initiated through the sharing of personal experiences and knowledge. This inclusive approach allows individuals from different backgrounds to connect, learn from one another, and collaborate on various initiatives.

Our goal is to create an environment where individuals feel confident, capable, and empowered to share their unique perspectives and talents. We provide the necessary resources, support, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
By pursuing these missions, SHAREK aims to create a vibrant and supportive platform where new arrival cultural workers, artists, social media influencers, and inspiring voices can thrive and contribute to their communities and the broader society in Europe.

SHAREK also houses a dedicated research center focusing on migration, asylum, and peace studies, particularly in conflict and post-conflict regions. The center’s mission is to contribute to the global understanding of the challenges faced by migrants and refugees, while also exploring pathways to peace and reconciliation in countries affected by war and conflict.
The research center conducts in-depth studies on migration patterns, the socio-economic integration of refugees, and the impact of asylum policies on individuals and communities. It aims to provide valuable insights that can inform policy-making and enhance support mechanisms for migrants and refugees.
The center also explores the root causes of conflicts, strategies for conflict resolution, and peace building efforts in war-torn regions. By focusing on these areas, SHAREK’s research center seeks to contribute to the global discourse on peace and to support initiatives that promote stability and reconciliation in conflict-affected countries.
The center actively collaborates with academic institutions, NGOs, and international organizations to conduct research and disseminate findings that can help shape better outcomes for migrants and contribute to global peace efforts. Through these research activities, SHAREK aims to empower individuals, inform the public, and influence policies that lead to a more inclusive and peaceful world.
