While calls to seal off Fortress Europe are getting louder and louder, thousands of people continue to drown just beyond its walls in the central Mediterranean every year. Organisations like RESQSHIP are attempting to counter the dying with civilian-operated ships. In this lecture, crew members of the motorised sailing vessel “Nadir” operated by RESQSHIP report on their missions and the inhumane conditions off Europe’s coasts. A short film with footage from on board and a subsequent discussion will leave room for your questions. Admission is free.
