A World of Neighbours

Such a pleasure sharing about AWoN at @lunduniversity today! Researcher and AWoN companion Ulrich Schmiedel invited us at the conference "Race" and "Religion" in Law of Migration: Comparing E.U. and U.S. Context. Practice enriching research, research inspiring practice.💡

AWoN Sweden is on! Last March, on Migrations Day, some practitionners gathered in Stockholm mosque to launch the A World of Neighbors local Sweden network. On August 20-21, for the Ecumenical Week in Stockholm, they will be holding their first meeting: aworldofneighbours.org/awon-sweden-is… !

And that's a wrap! This week, our Board and Advisory Board met in Brussels for an intense but extremely productive few days focused on strategy, priorities, and concrete action plans for the years to come 🙌 A huge success!

Dear Friends, The past year has required a steep learning curve from all of us and asked for a lot of resilience. A true "world of neighbours" is still far. So let's travel together. All of us at AWoN address you our warmest seasonal greetings!

On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we celebrate all migration practitioners - those with and without lived migration experience; those who, day and night, care about a diverse and welcoming Europe. Long live solidarity! 🤝 ❤️ #InternationalMigrantsDay

Last week, 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. This post summarises the full conversation 👀 ⤵️ buff.ly/3ZzsJQ4
