World in Frankfurt is a grassroots initiative led by immigrants, for society. We are a vibrant network of first- and second-generation immigrants, united by our shared experiences, diverse cultural backgrounds, and a common vision: a more inclusive, equitable, and empowered Frankfurt.

We believe immigrants are not just part of the city — we are shaping its future. We are leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, artists, and changemakers. With roots around the world and lives built here in Germany, we bring global perspectives and local impact.

What We Do

“World in Frankfurt” is a hub for connection, empowerment, and action. We create inclusive spaces where immigrants and diaspora communities can thrive — personally, professionally, and politically. Our programs and platforms include:

• Workshops & Training: Empowerment and capacity-building for immigrant communities

• Cultural Events: Celebrations of heritage, creativity, and community pride

• Panels & Dialogues: Engaging discussions with experts, politicians, and activists

• Advocacy Campaigns: Pushing for structural reforms and greater visibility

• Networking Opportunities: Bringing together diverse talents, sectors, and generations

We believe in shifting narratives — from “supporting immigrants” to recognizing their power and leadership. Our work is grounded in the idea that when immigrants are empowered to lead, all of society benefits.

Our Vision

Frankfurt is one of the most international cities in Germany, with nearly half its population having an immigration background. This diversity is our strength. At “World in Frankfurt,” we work to make sure that this strength is seen, heard, and celebrated.

We envision a city where:

• Immigrants are recognized as experts and decision-makers

• Diaspora communities have the resources to lead and grow

• Social justice and participation are realities — not promises

Who We Work With

We collaborate with a wide range of actors to build bridges and amplify impact:

• Tech professionals & innovators

• Politically engaged community members & allies

• Entrepreneurs and migrant-led businesses

• Artists, filmmakers, and cultural creators

• Academics, educators, and youth leaders

• Charities, MSOs & DSOs

• Media professionals and independent journalists

Together, we build sustainable structures of empowerment, representation, and solidarity.

Why It Matters

Immigrants have always played a vital role in shaping Germany’s economy, culture, and social fabric. From the post-war period to today’s digital and creative economy, their contributions are foundational.

But recognition still lags behind reality. We aim to change that.

We are not a service project. We are a movement — for dignity, justice, and shared prosperity. Our work challenges discrimination, breaks down systemic barriers, and uplifts immigrant voices — in every corner of public life.
