Who is behind Paréa Prints
Paréa is a word for togetherness. On Lesvos, it became the name of a place: a community center where displaced people, locals, and volunteers share space, support, and time. In a political climate that builds walls, Paréa opens doors. It is colorful where things are dark.
Paréa Prints is a social screen printing studio, launched in April 2026. Our goal: train people in professional screen printing, build lasting client partnerships across Europe, and make the studio pay its own way through the quality of its work.
Paréa Lesvos is our home: a community center a short walk from the Lesvos refugee camp, and the last of its kind still serving the people there. Hundreds of camp residents come through its doors every day.
Europe Cares e.V. is the Frankfurt-based organization behind it all. Since 2020, Europe Cares has stood up for the rights and dignity of people on the move at Europe's external borders.
Lesvos is where Paréa Prints starts. The skills built here travel with the people who learn them, wherever they go next.
