Filoxenia International 4.08

“Filoxenia” is a proud Greek tradition of hospitality which literally means ‘the love for strangers'. It refers to a generosity of spirit and a joyful kind of sharing. “Filoxenia” means people never leave a Greek home without the feeling they had the place of honour and the best the family have to offer. It’s about providing a warm, dignified welcome.

Filoxenia International (FXI) is a committed interdisciplinary team of experienced humanitarian and community development actors drawn together from several established NGO’s, organizations and groups. We have been working to support refugees in Greece and across Europe since 2015, and working collectively in different community services for decades. Building on our collective experience and knowledge and our shared commitment to “Filoxenia”, we have created a new structure, a Greek registered Non Profit Association, to be able to take a constructive role in responding to the evolving long term needs and challenges arising within the refugee crisis in Greece.
