Our history
2011 ― 2012
A PEER-TO-PEER APPROACH IN A WORLD OF EXPERTS
Guillaume Capelle and Nathanael Molle began working with entrepreneurs, asylum seekers and refugees in Australia and Morocco. At the time, they lacked the tools necessary to uncover the potential of each individual. Joined by Alice Barbe, they began creating a community to reinvent inclusion.
2013 ― 2015
Scaling communities with technology
Connecting people with refugee backgrounds to locals, through common interests or projects. SINGA hosted two migration hackathons, which lead to hosting platforms for migrants, as well as code learning websites.
2016 ― 2018
Activating talents to connect people
SINGA is scaled in France, Europe and North America, with open source methods that support citizens and entrepreneurs in tackling migration-related challenges. Chapters launch their hubs and incubators to support entrepreneurs’ startups.
From 2020
Sharing our key learnings with the world
SINGA helps citizens prepare to welcome newcomers, by connecting and working with them to develop projects related to migration and diversity. We want everyone, everywhere, to be able to thrive and contribute to a better future. Anyone can launch a SINGA, why not you?
