While the right to asylum is enshrined in both European and international law, asylum seekers and refugees are confronted with a host of administrative and social challenges, with the recurring shipwrecks in the Mediterranean serving as a grim testament to these obstacles. In reaction, ordinary citizens have stepped up to extend their support, endeavoring to make asylum seekers and refugees feel more welcome. The Refugee Food Festival stands as a prime example of such initiatives. Participants Guillaume Schwoob and Haitham Karajay joined us for a discussion on Perspective.
