“VOICES From Migrations” is a project co-funded by the European Union exploring untold migration. Milad Khasi moved from Syria to Belgium in 1999, fleeing war. This is his story:
“I still remember the smell of sea air in Latakia, my home by the Mediterranean, where the sun cast golden lines across the shore and life moved with a rhythm that felt eternal. Back then, I was a respected school director in Syria. My days were filled with purpose, and I never imagined I'd start over in a country where I didn’t even know how to say “Bonjour” properly.
But things change. In 1999, after years of delays, refusals, and near-impossible visa applications, I arrived in Belgium. I knew no one but a friend who came before me. My French was non-existent, my status uncertain...
“VOICES From Migrations” is a project co-funded by the European Union exploring untold migration. Kassem Hussein moved from Lebanon to Belgium in 2001. Here is his story:
“I was born in Lebanon. There, I was a teacher of Arabic and mathematics, a journalist, and politically active. I had to flee my country in 2001 because I opposed the Syrian regime and Hezbollah. My life was in danger.
I arrived in Belgium as a political refugee, and the journey was extremely difficult. I crossed several countries in a truck. Moscow, Poland, Brussels… When I arrived, I didn’t even know I was in Brussels. One day, the driver said to me, ‘You’re at Gare du Midi!’; and that’s how I found myself in Belgium...
From 11 to 14 May 2025, Brussels transformed into a hub of storytelling, policy innovation, and intercultural dialogue as VOICES From Migrations officially launched its first event.
Co-funded by the European Union and organized in collaboration with Perrotis College (Greece) and the Municipality of Rosarno (Italy), the event brought together students from more than 13 European countries and individuals with lived migration experiences in a bold effort to reframe the migration narrative in Europe.
​
Over four days, students became journalists, filmmakers, and policy advocates. They conducted in-depth interviews with people whose migration journeys reveal strength, compassion, and bravery.

Testimonials
“From the time I arrived, I started learning, meeting new people and making memories. This is my first EU event and the experience is really European. When we started working together I got to see different perspectives on different things. I have a long way ahead. This event helped me to be more socially active, express myself and made me a team player.”

"The Rome Hackathon was my first ever. I was not sure what to expect but I hoped I would be able to come up with interesting solutions for the challenge, learn new things in the process, and get to meet new people. It's been 3 days since I got back and I still can't believe how great it was. It exceeded my hopes in all ways possible."
