Riham Sabbagh fled the Syrian war and now lives in Germany, close to the Dutch border. She experienced the constant creation of new borders within Syria and even within cities. She sees some similarities with the current discours in Europe and wants us to be more aware of what is happening. Riham believes education is key to keeping borders and society open. 


Riham is 28 years old, studied English literature in Syria and was a teacher at the University of Aleppo. She had to flee to Germany because of the war in Syria. Riham will share why she feels we need to keep the borders between people and cultures open, what this means and what happens when you succeed.
