Horizon Resource Network is a non-profit organisation in Germany that works to promote the integration of people with an international or migration background through education and socio-cultural empowerment. The organisation pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes within the meaning of the tax-privileged purposes section of the German Tax Code.
Through national and international networks and synergy with public and private organizations working with migrant communities and various impact community projects, we engage in the sustained empowerment of internationals and facilitate the achievement of their goals in a foreign environment.
Our goals are achieved by leveraging community engagement and cross-sectorial & cross-boundary collaborations.
