This activity in Jourdain is part of a project financed by the European Union (Erasmus + Programme) called “HOST SPOT”. This title has been choosen in order to reflect about the two main aspect of the project: it includes the European concept of “Hotspot” – with this, the EU’s institutions refers to the refugees shelters where happens the distinction among refugees and economical migrants – and “spot”, considering that at the end of the project a video-documentary will be produced.
The Appeal:
“We are young and we have various backgrounds. We are ready to aquire new competences and skills in order to act and to protect the right to the freedom of expression and to be involved into the realisation of documentaries aimed to tell the living experiences of refugees. We will meet refugees running away to Jourdain from the Syrian and Iraqi conflicts. We will feel the importance of reciprocity in an extraordinary way and we will develop together ideas, cultural contributions and living experiences through visiting the jourdan refugee camps.
Finally, we will record the personal histories and the daily life in the refugee camps, hearing their difficulties during their way and after their arrival in the EU. The aim is to provide more information to the civil society, supporting their understanding of such a phenomena and to sensibilise their consciousness.”
