Speak is a social tech startup that connects migrants, refugees, and locals through a language and culture exchange program, helping them to feel integrated in the city where they moved to. It breaks barriers, promotes multilingualism, equality, and democratizes language learning. Things like cultural incomprehension, stereotypes, language barriers, and ignorance lead to xenophobia, unemployment, criminality, and many others. Speak aims at solving this social exclusion issue. Speak fulfills the social mission of integrating citizens through the value of their diversity. It's a cultural and language exchange program where anyone can apply as a student and/or a volunteer teacher, allowing people from different cultures to meet, learn, and share knowledge. Speak, as a whole, is a social business with a clear social mission and priorities. Its commercial offer aims only at ensuring financial sustainability.
