Jonas Kakoschke and Mareike Geiling are Co-initiators of the organization, Refugees Welcome—or Fluchtlinge Willkommen, which addresses housing problems and accommodations for refugees in Germany. They advocate that refugees should have the same rights as permanent residents, regardless of their reasoning for immigrating.
Fluchtlinge, Willkommen is a flat-sharing platform connecting migrants to locals through co-living. Instead of placing immigrants in huge, centralized accommodations, both groups have the opportunity to learn from one another and can more quickly adapt to their new country.
Mareike Geiling studied religion and culture studies in Berlin, Germany. Her involvement in various initiatives includes the problem of undocumented migrants in Berlin. In Fluchtlinge, Willkommen, Mareike directs the press and public relations. She is also a volunteers’ manager and is responsible for the planning and implementation of the internationalization of the project.
Jonas Kakoschke studied communication design in Berlin, Germany and during that time he founded the project Pfandgeben.de, which has been praised nationally by the media. This led Kakoschke to focus in the field of social innovation and project development. In Fluchtlinge Willkommen Jonas is responsible for the management of the website, online team tools and the graphic and conceptual design of all documents. Together with Mareike Geiling he is carrying out the internationalization of the project. He also coordinates the cooperation with other initiatives and external partners.

reSITE is an international platform connecting people and ideas to improve the urban environment. We work at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, culture, and economics.
We feature thought leaders whose work pushes the boundaries on how we build, design, regenerate and create life in cities, and frame them through many lenses, convening them in one place. We act as a catalyst for social action and innovative leadership. We encourage an exchange of ideas about making cities more livable, competitive, and resilient. We protect and promote public space, architecture, and sustainable development in cities.
All to make our cities more livable, competitive, resilient, inclusive, mobile, and designed with humans in mind.
