Partners
PEN International
Founded in London in 1921, PEN was one of the world's first human rights organisations and began as a committee of like-minded writers who wanted to develop friendships with their colleagues around the world, regardless of politics, background or nationality. It quickly grew, and soon became not just a space for writers to meet and support each other, but one of the most important organisations advocating and campaigning in situations where the ability to write or share stories freely was threatened, or where individuals were in danger because of the words they had written or the ideas they had expressed. Nowadays, PEN works to support literature, education, and the freedom to write and read in over a hundred countries around the world, most of them non-European - including all the countries our writers come from. All profits from book sales of A Definition of Snow are donated to PEN by VOICE. You can find more information on PEN on their website at https://pen-international.org/.
Bavarian Red Cross - Ingolstadt Unit
The Bavarian Red Cross Unit Ingolstadt has partnered with VOICE in the project´s Connect Programme. As part of the "Upside-down" initiative, the Red Cross Unit Ingolstadt helped us connect young refugees with its local volunteers and staff. This is part of an effort to foster exchange and give the international refugee students some insight into the (volunteer) work of the Red Cross and social and medical professions in Germany in general. For more information on previous and upcoming Connect events, visit the Connect page.

NOTE: VOICE operates according to the seven principles of fairness, diversity, respect, tolerance, independence, engagement and non-profitability. This means we take great care to ensure transparency in our use of funding. VOICE is an independent project - we do not follow or promote political agendas, and do not aim at putting forward a particular point of view or projecting a particular kind of image.
