Episode 1 - Nothing about us without us, it's that simple.

In this very first episode of Changing the Table, Seden sets out to unmask the key obstacles migrants face that hinder their ability to have a say in the decisions that affect them and looks into how to overcome them. We are joined by Shawgi Ahmed, Director of Public Leadership at the PLACE Network, who shares his insights stemming from over 12 years of experience working with migrants, and by Olivia Long, Managing Editor at the Migration Policy Group, who conducted interviews with representatives of New European communities to map obstacles to political participation and recommendations on eliminating them. This podcast is hosted by Seden Anlar and produced by the New Europeans Initiative, a project of the Migration Policy Group. Funding for the podcast is provided by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only.
