DISCUSSION
Stories from the refugee crisis
Moderator: Jana Stardelova – Tiiiit! Inc.
Speakers: Uranija Pirovska – Helsinki committee for human rights if the Republic of Macedonia, Mersiha Smailovikj – Legis and Lenche Zdravkin
In 2015, about a hundred kilometers south and north from Skopje, passes the Western Balkan route. On that route people pass daily, searching for safety and better tomorrow. Through the women’s efforts and the first person stories we make a review of the events of 2015, the stories behind the holocaust of our time, and what is expecting us in 2016. Together with our speakers we will bring back the humanity in this dehumanized story, we will tell Syrian, Afghan, and other stories from the field.
