The AWoN community boasts a multi-faith set-up, extensive professional experience, with members possessing substantial knowledge in their respective fields. Additionally, A World of Neighbours has a dedicated team of researchers who work in close collaboration with the practitioners, leading to the development of high-quality research studies related to the issues facing migration practitioners.
Because of the wealth of diversity, knowledge and expertise within the community, developing trainings for our members in various areas, such as:
We organise a number of webinars per year, open to the public, which shine spotlight on practitioners, best practices, research, and AWoN’s approach, principles and ideas.
We just entered 2025, a whole lot of challenges ahead and we are needed; with heart, mind, body, and soul.
The best person to help us be as present as possible is Nick Demeris, aka “the Human Instrument”. It’s a massive opportunity to learn and experience first hand his way of working.
Nick is an interactive performer, teacher and facilitator connecting people around the globe by singing and playing together. He spoked and hosted at Tedx, serves the climate activists community for years, worked with and for activists on the front line of racial equity and social liberation, worked two years with youth in prisons in New York and created content and practices for UN, UNHCR and UNICEF.
So, what will it be about? Nick uses singing, sound and mind-body practices to work on the psychosomatic and sonic wellbeing and restoration of our human bodies and heart.
If that lifelong experience and way of working hasn’t made you curious, then we don’t know what will!
Welcome to this AWoN Webinar! Please invite your friends and colleagues for an hour of new inspiration!
📅 Thursday 30 January, 5.00 CET / 4.00 GMT / 6.00 EET
On Thursday 12 December, we gathered to celebrate the end of the year together, and to discuss how interreligious cooperation can be a light in the dark, in our work and personal lives.
The new Pact on Asylum and Migration was adopted by the EU in spring 2024, bringing new challenges to asylum applicants and practitioners supporting them. We had the pleasure of welcoming Ana Puljiz from CCME in a webinar that gave us a better understanding of both its impact on our work and the opportunities for collaboration and advocacy.
At AWoN, we are constantly seeking ways to build stronger connections and more effective collaborations across our network. Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Maura James to introduce the concept of a “Community of Practice” and explore how it could shape the future of our work together.
