AWoN in person and pages

After much work and waiting, and with a lot of pride and excitement, AWoN scholar-partners, practitioners and friends gathered on April 9th at the Philantropy House, in the centre of Brussels, to celebrate the stories and knowledge gathered in Living in A World of Neighbours: Activists and Academics in Conversation about Multi-Faith Refugee Relief.

The presentation by two of the three editors of the book, Pr. Dr. Ulrich Schmiedel and Dr. Dr. Ryszard Bobrowicz, was followed by a reflection from Dr. Nella van den Brandt, respondent from KU Leuven, and a lively discussion with the audience, mixing practitioner-contributors, researchers and colleagues. We cannot wait to share this important book more widely, check it out now already!
