Germany diaspora in the Americas

According to the United Nations, 1,310,000 people from Germany live in the Americas.

In total, 4,270,000 people from Germany live abroad, and about 31% of them live in the Americas.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

No community for people from Germany exists in the Americas on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

There, the largest diasporas also come from India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Every October 3, the national day brings the Germany diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.

Elsewhere, the Germany diaspora also lives in Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
