Especially within the new changes and the ongoing trend of a “Fortress Europe” that doesn’t respect the human rights. We need to keep informing what is happening at the borders. Transparency and education – facts and stories of migrants and refugees will show that we need to build bridges instead of walls.

• We report about the things we see, via mail or via phone but also in person, we make “tours” for visitors in Lesbos that want to learn about the situation of refugees, locals and the many projects
• We are available for researchers, journalists, politicians, supporters and all kind of visitors
• We provide other initiatives and projects with support in Greek burocracy, finding local solutions, connecting to local networks etc.
• We try to negiotiate with authorities or other actors if we find a problem
• We refer cases to other actors in and outside Greece to try to find solutions
• We currently support several self organized smaller iniatives, such as a women collective, a free radio station, several independet actors that support refugees on the island with our infrastructure. We would like to focus more on including refugees into the decision making of the humanitarian sector and give as much voice to the ones that are refugees themselves rather than to organisation just working “for them”.
