4º #TodosDurmiendoEnLaCalle en Plaza Universitat (9-10 Dic.)

The fourth event will start on December 9th at 19h30 and you all will be the speakers this time!  We believe in the importance of giving our guests a voice and we think that the best way of showing you all this is by doing it for our 1 year anniversary. The format is very simple and interactive, so come ready to participate and speak your mind!

We want to get as many people as possible to join us by sleeping in the street with us to show how important it is to empathize with homeless people by putting yourself in their place. Even though it's only 24 hours, it will be an unforgettable experience!

For those who plan on braving the night with us and creating greater awareness until 19h30 the next day, there are some simple rules everyone should follow:

1) Speak with everyone

2) Invite people to donate

3rd # All sleeping in the street in front of the CAP of Drassanes (11-12 November)

#HomelessEntrepreneur believes that  commitment will eliminate homelessness , which is why we are going to hold a  24-hour monthly event  until Barcelona eliminates homelessness. This event will include  a street conference  given by experts on homelessness and other relevant areas  from 19h30-21h30 on the first night. All citizens who wish to share their commitment of eliminating homelessness, will then sleep in the street that night in the same area that the conference is held. The following day will be spent promoting awareness about homelessness and raising donations to eliminate it for the next #HomelessEntrepreneur. Our goal is to raise 10,000 € per month (the cost to provide housing for 1 year and create a small business for 1 homeless person) because we'd like to end up homelessness for 1 person each event we hold. Everyone will be given cardboard signs and flyers.

The  third event will start on November 11th  and the speakers for the street conference (19h30-21h30) will be  Andrew Funk  (President of #HomelessEntrepreneur),  Álvaro Vives Suñé  (Board Deputy Head of Andrology at Fundació Puigvert),  Marcel Abbad Sort  (President of Oportunitas Foundation),  Jesús Martinez  (Reporter and author of # HomelessEntrepreneur's 1st book, El Peso),  Menchu omero  (social worker) and  Marcos Garrido  (the 1st #HomelessEntrepreneur). The format is very simple and interactive, so eat ready to participate and speak your mind!

"Angel of the Street" by Matthew Nicholson

A special thanks to Matthew Nicholson, @NicholsonPoet, for letting us share his poem to create greater visibility for homeless people!

"Angel of the Street"
Guardian of the doorway
faithful servant by his side
'I need money not your pity' reads his sign
I can feel his sense of pride.
Watching people disapprovingly
pass by with shaking head
their judgement pollutes the city air
not a single word is said.
I've seen enough
and make a stand,
I pat his dog
and shake his hand.
We both laugh at
the crowded stare
of faceless people
passing there.
He greets me so warmly
and offers me a seat
'take the weight off your shoulders friend
and rest your weary feet'
'What troubles you today?' he asks
As I let out a sigh.
I feel numb and empty
came the words of my reply.
'Breathe deep, feel.
Release your fears.
It's never as bad
As it ever appears!'
His calming presence
cleansed me instantly
giving his friendship
and advice for free.
Thanking him, I asked
is there something I can do for you?
'No, but thanks. It seems
The challenge lies with you.'

If you’d like to help us speed up the process of eliminating homelessness in Barcelona, we’d like to invite you to make a monthly donation via Patreon.
