In the first episode we introduce the voices that will guide us through what is happening in the regions where Europe has illegitimately extended its governance. From Libya to Egypt, across the Maghreb and the Balkan route, we hear testimonies of the brutality of Europe’s migration policies and how they affect people on the move and local communities.

In the first series of the On the Move podcast we take on the subject of the externalization of borders where the European Union together with neighbouring countries has made extractive and violent agreements that endanger criminalize exploit and kill people on the move and their allies. These are the voices of people affected and resisting in the places where the EU is pushing its governance and extending its borders beyond its own territory.
