Vikström & Wikström- Evening Debate on Migration and European Values

‘Vikström & Wikström – An Evening Debate on Migration and European Values`

Is Europe betraying its common values, such as solidarity and protecting human rights and human dignity for all?

Can a truly common European asylum system still be reached?

How can we cope with global challenges and promote climate justice?

And how can churches and other faith-based actors add value, both through advocacy work and by concrete actions?
