why?
No Name Kitchen was born in Belgrade in winter 2017, when activists started cooking alongside thousands of people who were fending for themselves after the Hungarian border closure. Since then, NNK defends the rights of people on the move and asylum seekers, challenging systemic violence and providing essential support.
VISION (what we dream): Freedom of movement for all.
Until that becomes reality, we work to transform Europe’s racist and violent borders into safer and non-discriminatory pathways through three main tactics:
DIRECT SUPPORT
Implementing field projects that provide assistance to People on the Move at borders where violence is systematically practiced, often with the backing of EU institutions.
POLITICAL ACTION
Advocating for change and pursuing legal action to hold perpetrators accountable, influence policymakers, and push for rights-based policies at both EU and national levels.
AWARENESS-RAISING
Exposing the roots and consequences of the European border regime to mobilize civil society and inspire collective solutions.
