In this episode of VC Mytiline, I give you a comprehensive report the Supporting Migrants Across Borders Conference that took place end of October in Izmir, Turkey. The event was dynamic and made up of a very diverse group of people, who all contributed their different perspectives.
I was there on invitation of co-organizers Legal Center Lesbos to bring you this report. Over the three days of the conference I spoke to a large amount of people, attended workshops and listened to the various presentations in order to bring you the most comprehensive overview of the event I can manage.
I have made in depth podcasts on some of the topic’s that come up during this episode.
