Living as Neighbours
the border podcast
Living as Neighbours is a podcast featuring conversations with women and men who have provided friendship and support to migrants and asylum seekers. Travelling to some of Europe’s remotest borders, AWoN Director Rikko Voorberg, speaks with people who have opened their doors and have provided help to those seeking shelter and a safe place to live.
”Living as Neighbours” is an initiative of the Lutheran World Federation in collaboration with A World of Neighbours network. The project is supported by the German government through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit.
