Arrived in France!

[Day 6]

After cycling 120km – our longest day tour thus far – we finally made it to France. We still have another 80km to go until we arrive in Calais. We are both excited and slightly anxious about getting there… most organizations we contacted are overwhelmed with their workload so naturally it will be challenging for them to find time for interviews etc. However, we are equipped with a few phone numbers we can call once we arrive in the camp. The ‘Jungle’ will be the first refugee camp we will visit during our project, and probably one of the most discussed by media as well. We look forward to exploring ourselves how well these discussions reflect the situation there. Stay tuned for more.

Lastly, here are two videos we would like to refer you to. One of John Green, who visited Zaatari in June. And the other about refugee/migrant terminology. We hope you find it interesting!
