A new legal name. The same Kiron.

As our work has grown over the years, we've updated our legal name to better reflect who we are today.

We're now officially Kiron Education gGmbH.

What hasn't changed?
✅ Our mission
✅ Our team
✅ Our programs
✅ Our commitment to learners and partners

And, of course, you'll still know us simply as Kiron.

Our new legal name better reflects the work we do today—supporting people with refugee and migration backgrounds through education, digital skills, and pathways to employment.

Curious about what's changing (and what isn't)?

What does it take to turn learning into career opportunities?

Last week, 15 THRIVE learners joined us in Munich for a day of learning, networking, and career insights with our THRIVE partners, Accor and Banyan Software Foundation.

The day began at Accor, where learners explored:
✨ how one of the world's leading hospitality groups approaches people, culture, and recruitment
🤖 how technology and AI are being used within the business
💼 practical insights into hiring, assessments, and what recruiters look for
🤝 conversations over lunch with employees from different teams

In the afternoon, the group visited Banyan Software to learn how the organization acquires and builds software businesses, hear from the team, and connect through an open networking session.

Experiences like these help bridge the gap between learning and employment. They give learners the opportunity to ask questions, expand their professional networks, and gain first-hand insights into today's workplace.

A huge thank you to the teams at Accor and Banyan Software for opening your doors and sharing your time and expertise with our learners.

Kiron’s program, THRIVE, wins the European Digital Skills Award 2026! 🏆✨

We are extremely honored to share that THRIVE, our professional upskilling program for refugee and migrant women, has won the European Digital Skills Award 2026 in the Women in ICT Careers category.

THRIVE was launched in 2023 because we saw that despite the enormous talent, experience, and ambition of women with refugee and migrant backgrounds, they continually faced barriers to accessing training, professional networks, and employment opportunities, and remained underrepresented in digital and ICT careers.
Since then, the program has successfully supported more than 1,000 women from over 70 nationalities in building digital, language, and professional skills and strengthening their path into employment.

Thank you to the European Commission and, especially, to the jury for believing in this work. This award is an important recognition of our commitment to creating opportunities for women to learn, grow, and succeed in the digital economy.

None of this would be possible without the incredible people behind THRIVE: the THRIVE team, volunteers, engaged employers, labor market experts, implementation and sparring partners - you all have helped shape and strengthen the program from the very beginning. Above all, we are grateful to the remarkable women who have joined THRIVE and brought their ambition, talent, and determination to the program.

A heartfelt thank you to our donors (Banyan Software Foundation, Postcode Lotterie, BNP Paribas Stiftung, Accor Heartist Solidarity, The Factset Charitable Foundation, One Foundation, Capgemini, Apheon) and partners (Applied AI institute, DataCamp, Project Managers without borders, Project Management Institute).

Today is World Refugee Day, marking 75 years since the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention, which established the internationally recognized definition of a refugee, and the right to fundamental rights, including education and work. At Kiron, we see these rights as deeply connected, forming the foundation for people rebuilding their lives in new communities.

Our theme for 2026 World Refugee Day is courage, creativity, and community. In the days leading up to this global day of recognition, we held two events: an online global panel and an evening in Berlin in collaboration with SoundCloud, focusing specifically on creativity with a DJ workshop, a panel, and networking over music, food, and drinks.

What an incredible evening. 💫

Yesterday, we came together to celebrate World Refugee Day, and we're still feeling inspired by the conversations, connections, and energy in the room.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their experiences, asked thoughtful questions, danced, connected, and helped make the event so special.

Special thanks to our partner SoundCloud for helping bring this event to life and for supporting spaces where creativity can foster belonging and connection.

We're also grateful to Femme Bass Mafia for leading an engaging DJ workshop and creating a welcoming space for participants to explore music, self-expression, and new skills.

Thank you to our moderator, Richard Porath, for guiding such a thoughtful and engaging conversation, and to our panelists, for sharing honest reflections on finding community, navigating new beginnings, and the role creativity can play in building a sense of belonging. Your stories reminded us that community is something we create together.

Events like these are only possible because of the many people behind the scenes who contribute their time, expertise, and enthusiasm. We're deeply grateful to everyone who helped make the evening a success.

Here's to continuing to create spaces where people can connect, learn, and thrive together.

Thank you for celebrating World Refugee Day with us.💙
