POTENTIAL
"هرگز تسلیم نشو"

FORGE advocates for men travelling solo to have the means to fulfill their potential, and works alongside them in navigating their way towards becoming independent and active members of society.
How do we do it?
FORGE operates primarily as an info hub in Athens, Greece.
In our small space, every action is a collaborative effort: we expect our participants to be active in every aspect of their circumstances. We build reciprocal and dynamic relationships which result in these men developing resources, knowledge and control.

Our objectives
We believe that supporting men traveling solo should be central to social development and aid delivery, given their potential to enrich their host nation’s society when provided with the initial support required by any individual.
We are committed to challenging stereotypes and to supporting these men, both individually and as a community, to help them to build a solid base of knowledge and a support network to work towards stability, integration and autonomy.
