Migration 2.0 Podcast - Episode 3: Hubert Faustmann and Hrishabh Sandilya talk about the scenes of chaos witnessed at the Pournara Reception Center over the winter, week-long episodes of asylum seekers camped out in the cold outside the Immigration Office in Nicosia and the Council of Europe’s criticism of Cyprus on the contentious issue of migrant boat pushbacks. They are joined by Etinosa Erevbenagie and Cynthia Savvides - the founders of Generation for Change - a citizens' initiative that made an invaluable contribution helping asylum seekers during this period, with food, clothing and other necessities.

This podcast is a collaboration between the FES Cyprus Office and Project Phoenix, a European NGO based in Cyprus that works towards systems change and migrant inclusion. Migration 2.0 will explore issues related to migration through multiple lenses. By amplifying migrant voices and shedding light on migration issues, we hope to promote inclusion, highlight the diversity of migrant experiences, and humanize migrants by including and centralizing their voices in the discourse.
