We were thinking and writing about solidarity forms between migrants and civil society when the Refugees Welcome movement surprised the whole of Europe (and its political leaders!) in 2015 by strengthening the relations between refugees and local communities. We want to first and foremost dedicate this book to all the people who contribute to receive and welcome refugees and, of course, to all the refugees that put their life at risk on their journey to Europe. They are the people who shape the Europe we believe in, and this book would not have been possible without them. We would like to thank all of the people who shared their experiences and opinions with us: in Aalborg, members of Venligboerne, in Athens, Vasilis Galis, Kostas Floros and Vasilikis Makrygianni; in Barcelona, Ignasi Calbó, Gloria Rendón, Laia Creus, Mar Sabé and Bue Rübner Hansen; in Toronto, Harald Bauder, and Ryerson Centre for Immigration and Se
