Amargi.PL - Amargi House

In Thessaloniki (Greece) we are setting up Amargi House – a small but ambitious support action center. It is going to be the first node of the whole Amargi Network, volunteer support for Rojava reconstruction and for increasing the cooperation between Europe and Rojava. The support will be
organized in direct cooperation with self-governing Rojava communities. Our first goal is to develop direct technical help for Rojava reconstruction. We are already involved in that, but we lack infrastructure to do it at the bigger scale. The other goal is to make people in Europe – and beyond – aware how important is Rojava, the only area of Middle East, governed by a secular, inclusive and democratic self-administration; safe area for thousands of refugees and an exemplary solution to Middle Eastern problems.

The goal of the project is to build a technological facility in Greece, as a part of cooperation between Rojava and its European supporters. The facility (Amargi House) will be also first node of the planned network of solidarity economy entities throughout Europe and Kurdistan.

To suport Rojava recovery and redevelopment we need to test and implement technologies specifically designed both for political context and local resources.

The goal is not just to make Rojava alive and sustainable, but also to make it resistant against future disasters and assaults.
We need to convey knowledge and skills to Bakur and Rojava people as much as we need to learn from them.

Our ultimate goal is to empower Kurdish communities to cerate their own centers and to start contributing to the global cooperation.

We plan to achieve it by using open source approach and by implementing values of hacker culture: free and shared knowledge, practical approach and constructive critique of existing solutions.
