Talks for Peace: volunteering in the Middle East

Our student, Julia Lemcke, spent 10 days in Jordan as part of the Changing Lives Programme and in this video she shares her experience with us, letting us know how this trip enabled her to deconstruct some myths about the Middle East that often incite prejudice towards Muslim communities and refugees.

What the video, learn about volunteering abroad and share it! Experiences like this are of main importance to tackle discrimination.
