How many people from Syria live in Europe?
According to the United Nations, 1,670,000 people from Syria live in Europe.
In total, 8,910,000 people from Syria live abroad, and about 19% of them live in Europe.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
Where to meet people from Syria in Europe
No community for people from Syria exists in Europe 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.
Other diasporas in Europe
There, the largest diasporas also come from Morocco, Turkey, Kazakhstan, India, and Algeria, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Syria community in Europe
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.
Syria Independence Day in Europe
Every April 17, the national day brings the Syria diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
The Syria diaspora elsewhere in the world
Elsewhere, the Syria diaspora also lives in Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
