We are so proud of our MFR Refugees Code Class of 2026!
During World Refugee Day week, we celebrated the MFR – Refugees Code Demo Day 2026 on 18 June 2026 at The Bridge | Digital Talent Accelerator in Madrid. World Refugee Day is a reminder that safety, dignity, and opportunity belong to everyone. This program is one of the ways we put that into practice every day.
Our students (refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants) completed 7 months of intensive training across two programs: Front-End Web Development (which started in 2018) and Data Analytics, which launched for the first time this year. Seeing them present their final projects with such confidence and creativity was an incredibly proud moment for all of us.
This year, 11 students graduated:
Front-End Web Development: 6 graduates
Data Analytics: 5 graduates

Please join us in congratulating our graduating class! A few of the graduates have shared their profiles and are actively seeking job and internship opportunities. Our full class of 11 graduates is on the job market, if you or your company can help through hiring, internships, or connections, please reach out to them directly or contact us at info@madridforrefugees.org.
