Finding Safe Havens Podcast

How do you imagine a safe haven? How does it feel to someone that has left everything behind?

In this podcast series you will listen to the true stories of different people, their memories and experiences of leaving everything behind in the pursuit of a safe haven. Every episode is a journey of uncertainty and hope for the future, welcoming communities and solidarity.

With the outbreak of the Ukraine-Russia war, millions of people fled Ukraine. Among them is Viktoria, who is now sharing her experience of leaving her family and starting a journey into the unknown.

Our Samen Hier, (Together Here), initiative is dedicated to creating safe pathways and safe havens for people who had to flee their homes.

The podcast is now also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts. Follow us to stay tuned for every new episode.
