We would like to invite you to an online discussion organised by Refugee Support Aegean (RSA) on Tuesday 16 March 2021 at 17:00 CET.
The discussion will be in English.
The toxic EU-Turkey ‘deal’ signed on 18 March 18 2016, aimed at halting the arrival of refugees and migrants from Turkey to Europe, has trapped thousands of people on the Eastern Aegean islands.
Refugees and islanders talk about the effects of the ‘deal’ on their lives and on local communities.
