"On the Move"
Over the past twelve months hundreds of thousands of people have been on the move, men, women, unaccompanied children, escaping from situations of brutal war and persecutions. Thousands welcomed them in Europe and helped in empathetic and generous ways.
But as the massive flow of refugees did not stop, problems began to surface: A fear of local populations to be “overrun”; a fear that terrorists may be hiding among the large numbers of refugees; a fear that current developments may play into the hands of right wing movements and parties in Europe.

Where are we one year later? What were the experiences of women, on the way, after their arrival? How did refugees and hosts deal with the new situation? How far did religion play a role? And how do our respective religious traditions sustain us in our efforts to keep Europe as a space where human rights and dignity are respected.
Join us in Greece to explore these issues!
