🏢 About the local organisation
One of the biggest challenges for Europe today is the forced migration, and the numbers of refugees are rapidly growing. The European Union and its’ labor market were not prepared enough for the Social Inclusion of the vast number of refugees, which is threatening the stability of local communities and economies. Societies are being polarized and the growth of right-wing extremism is creating another threat for European democracies. The study camp will take place in Thessaloniki, that have a rich history of hosting refugees. This camp will focus on the actual situation with refugees, through clear connection with the past. It will help in promoting peace, its values and the well-being of peoples by stimulating debate, reflection, and development of a network.
💼 What the programme involves
During the camp, participants will collect stories of refugees and war victims, starting with the first wave of refugees (from 1922, the WWII, and nowadays). The participants in this study camp will help to collect data from locals related to the past and current migration in form of interviews and stories. This collected data at the end will be used as the material for final video and exhibition of the PATH project. The language of the study camp will be English, but when it is needed to contact with locals who do not speak English, greek volunteers will help.

The bathroom will be on the same floor and shared by all the volunteers.
